I am fascinated with times past.

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.

A director shouldn't get in the way of the movie, the story should.

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.

Visual storytelling of one kind or another has been around since cavemen were drawing on the walls.

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.

I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.
