I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.

I love helping someone else tell their story, but I like being the storyteller sometimes.

I try to educate myself as much as possible, as I do with the director and the designers and everyone I used to work with. It just helps, I think, with the frame of reference for who you're working with.

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

Can I tell you how strange it is to look in your rearview mirror and see guys in cars tailing you?

I think I'm a very very nice director. Very supportive, very nurturing. I definitely try to challenge my actors but I think I'm very supportive.

If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.
