You don't need to like your protagonists.

Life fundamentally does not change depending on work or fame or success.

I love the long-form format of television. I love being able to develop a character, over a long period of time.

In the last two or three decades, there's been a feminization of the man in popular media that I've never really understood.

I think the American Western laid down a kind of subject matter that's about following your instinct or following your gut and having a sort of removed quality from your humanity. And I think Clint Eastwood helped to establish that.

The people who believe that their soul is being crushed by playing a particular role need to take a vacation or check into the looney bin for awhile.

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible.
