When I really get invested in something, the one thing that really disappoints me is when it breaks its own rules.

I think my children have presented one of the biggest lessons so far in my life. It was only when my kids were born that I realized just how much I'd been living my life worried about what everybody thought of me and, even more strangely, worried about what I imagined other people might be thinking about me.

Television is what we call the long form of storytelling, where we tell stories over thirteen, twenty-two, or twenty-four hours. Miniseries is an eight-hour form of storytelling, and film is a two-hour form. Each and every one of them are important to me, because they're a different modality of storytelling.

Making a movie with Lindsay Lohan is not for the faint of heart.

I love motion capture. I think it's the best thing, ever. It's wonderful. It gives you an incredible freedom to just play things out.

I seem to be incapable of playing that guy that always does the right thing, who always responds well in any circumstance.

I was born in New Zealand, so I have a lot of family there.
