I started my career wanting to make a 'James Bond' movie, and I couldn't get hired! I made 'The Bourne Identity,' and ultimately the impact of that film was that it changed the 'James Bond' franchise.

I had just come off doing a lot of commercials when I did Go, so a part of the fast pace and efficiency comes from the discipline I had to learn from telling stories in 25-second increments, and that type of discipline is insane.

It's almost a work-shopping process to create the characters with the actors.

At the end of the day, it's still a show about guys who ride extremely fast motorcycles for a living.

I think when the United States of America put a man on the moon in 1969, that was one of the greatest accomplishments mankind has ever done.

For big Hollywood movies, I'm on the more character-driven side of the equation. So, TV is a natural place for me to be because you've got no choice, but to be character-driven.

I realize I am contradictory: I have an independent filmmaker's sensibility and a Hollywood director's short-attention span.
