At the end of the day, I like the spy genre, as opposed to the action movie genre, because spies are smart. The successful spies are the smarter spies.
TV is a safe place to develop real characters.
To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.
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.
What I really found was that the one similarity between Covert Affairs and Fair Game is a deep love and admiration and fascination with the home life of a spy.
