I was 45 years old when I decided to learn how to surf.

Nothing to me is unexpected. No disappointment is unexpected - whether it's movies or people or relationships. I'm always ready for the punch directly between the eyes. So I get hurt, but I never get hurt. Happens all the time.

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.

I believe in disrupting my comfort zone.

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