The fun of directing for me, other than working with the actors, is trying to extract those ideas that you have in your head and make them real.

I love visual stylists like Bob Fosse and Vincente Minnelli and Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger with The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffman.

Ryan Murphy just gives new people a shot, and it takes a lot of confidence and generosity to do that.

TV is all new to me because I came from features.

Horror allowed me to quickly switch gears.

I'm really grateful to Ryan Murphy for so much because he's fearless. He's so confident. He has a very unusual and unique way of seeing the world sometimes, and he's somehow able to translate that into entertainment for the masses, at the right time in pop culture.
