I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.

I guess the idea of not wanting to choose to direct a film, for which I've not read a script. It's a tough decision to make without seeing any pages. That's not to say that I don't have all the faith in the world in the spectacular writers.

I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.

I love the idea of anthropomorphizing machines. I love the idea of taking technology and giving it a personality.

The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.

Maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge. I realized that the white page is a magic box. Ultimately, the mistery box is all of us. Ubiquitous technologies. What comes next ? Mystery as catalyst for imagination.

Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.
