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.

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

We need to empower ourselves and believe in ourselves, and not allow the world to take that away from us. No matter how dark we may think our world is, it's been much darker in the past, and we will make it through this.

I'm gut all the way, which is why I think I'm so connected to shows like Falling Water and even The Walking Dead, which is all about the mortal consequences of our actions. Generally, we act first and realize the consequences later.

If you don't know what you're being asked to do, make sure you clarify. I think people in every business are afraid to ask questions.

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

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.
