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.

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

I think a huge amount of it is because of the Internet. Every single thing in the world is accessible with a few clicks. Almost every child, by the age of 13, has seen pornography. That's clearly different. It used to be really hard or really humiliating, as a 13-year-old, to access pornography. If you wanted to take a look at a Playboy, it was really challenging. Today, it's a joke.

I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.

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

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

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.
