When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it's a point of pride in a weird way.

Mystery is more important than knowledge.

We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.

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.

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 sort of love the idea of, you know, watching something and then having to wait for the next episode.

Approaching any movie with a three in the title you know you are not going to get a political polemic. You are not going to get some sort of political statement or ultra-deep message.
