I go into a movie sort of saying what it's not going to be.

I probably shouldn't treat interviews as therapy sessions, but I don't keep a diary, so these end up being my way of keeping track of where I'm at and letting it all out.

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

I'm very interested in politics, and I feel TV is a more political medium than film.

TV is a safe place to develop real characters.

When you can come across a piece of material that's totally original and fun and completely satisfying, you jump on it.

I live in New York City, and I'm making huge action movies. The people that make huge action movies live in L.A., and they're surrounded by other people who make huge action movies. I'm surrounded by people making documentaries!
