I think when you're 10 years old, it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.

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

Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.

Cameron Crowe is someone who I've admired for so long, and I've been friends with him for many years, and I've wanted to work with him so badly that I just never stopped bothering him about writing a script that would be for a pilot.

My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.

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 try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
