It's no secret that my process is a little bit loose and can be a little bit infuriating to a studio if they don't know what they're signing up for.

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

Nothing I've done is like anything else I've done before.

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

TV has no choice, but to rely on character, and everybody knows that. I love working in it. It's such a big canvas where, if you're successful, you go on for years.

It's better to find a stunt person who can act. It's easier to do that than to find an actor who can do a stunt.

Obviously, anyone who has seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith knows that husband and wife married spies is something that I find particularly interesting.
