The movie I end up with is the movie I aspired to make.

I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.

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

The thing about TV is it's a meritocracy. I love that aspect of it - and I've had shows that have gone on the air and been canceled. I've seen the good and the bad of it.

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

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 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.
