It's tough to get any film made, even if you're Martin Scorsese. It's just hard to get films made.

I think I would be making a mistake to actively try and just do everything completely different from 'Gilmore Girls.

I don't believe in crowd funders. I don't believe the fans should be paying for their own things.

I don't begrudge anyone else for anything, but to me, I think the fans deserve to have a studio put money behind their product because when the fans put money into a project and it makes any sort of money, it goes back to the studio. I think that's a little shady.

With directing, you have to wake up early, which stinks, but you get to hang out with the crew, you're laughing, you're active, and you're working with the actors. It's just more fun than writing. Writing is very hard.

I grew up where my parents would literally shove me in the car rather than have to say hello to a neighbor.

I grew up in the Valley, and I didn't know any of our neighbors. I think when you grow up like that, there's always sort of a fantasy of a place where everybody knew each other, and you had that safe sort of feeling.
