If I'm going to do something, I really put everything into it and I want it to mean something to me.

I was a geek in high school.

It was really interesting to be editing the film [Trust] in New York and directing the play in Chicago, and one definitely informed the other. The play probably benefitted more because I realized what scenes could be cut, and I cut those scenes from the play.

And the thing is, every time you start a new show or do a new series, you're committing to another six years.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

You're only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can't be a team.

If someone doesn't believe enough in your product to put money in to it, then you should rethink how good the product is.
