What's so wonderful about 'The Walking Dead' is that we're able to explore human nature in its most depraved as well as its most humanitarian in each episode.

You don't want people to look at something and think that was a fantastic special effect.

Film-making is a business and at the bottom line people who don't make fiscally responsible decisions end up going into another line of work.

The great thing about television is that you get to tell, like with "The Walking Dead", 16 hours worth of character-driven storytelling in less time than it takes to make a feature film. So, it really is a medium at least for storytellers who are passionate about not only the genre but also the character-driven genre stories. It's probably a better medium.

A lot of my films have dealt with the dark side of technology and stress that you have to examine the ramifications of progress.

If I'm going to fail, let me fail with something that I care deeply about.

When you realize there are geniuses out there and you'd be a journeyman... that's not good enough. I'd rather be the person helping those who are one in a billion get their vision out.
