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

We tend to be more environmental at home than at work, regardless of the industry we're in.

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

Generally I try to be on set as much as possible, especially during the early part of a season. I read all of the outlines and scripts and look at the auditions and the cuts for my other shows and give notes on all of that. There's a lot to do, but I enjoy nothing more than being on set because that's where the magic happens.

I think that we can learn so much if we pay attention to our dreams, whether when we are asleep or in waking dreams. There are connections that are absolutely incredible.

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.
