I'm still learning. It's all a learning curve. Every time you sit down, with any given episode of any given show, it is a learning curve. You're learning something new about how to tell a story. But then, I've felt that way about everything I've ever done - television, features or whatever. Directing or writing, it always feels like the first day of school to me.

One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life', which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.

The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another.

Boy, I'd hate to shoot on tape or disc or whatever the hell they're talking about. I love film.

I'd like to think that my films are personal enough to exist without hearkening back to their respective novels.

The Exorcist' is amazing because it recognizes that silences can be as powerful as sound effects.

I've never been a big fan of the music-video style of editing movies that crept in the last few decades. I like stuff that's able to take its time.
