WE ARE ALL TRAPPED in our own way of thinking, trapped in our own way of relating to people. We get so used to seeing the world our way that we come to think that the world is the way we see it.

I only make movies that are interesting to me.

I wanted other people who have curiosity to understand they can kick it up a notch and it's a superpower.

I started in TV movies and then had success in my move to features with Night Shift and Splash.

I believe in disrupting my comfort zone.

I like BBC news, I like some London news because you can get it earlier then anywhere else. I like Charlie Rose a lot.

We're interested in complex characters and he's a complex character, [J. Edgar] Hoover. I like these types of dramas. I've made a few of them and I'm also interested in power structures so it just has elements that fascinate me, and the more you learn about Hoover, the more polarizing you realize he is.
