As a kid I never had the impulse to climb anything. I think that most kids who live in small towns or rural areas outside of the city, that's what they do - climb walls, or trees, or whatever. To me, it was more dance classes and not being very boyish.

TV is a big business. In some ways, it's surpassed films, in terms of the way people invest in these shows and invest in these characters, and give up so much of their time to follow these people's stories.

I remember when I first came to America and I saw posters for TV shows and I was like, "What?! Why does a television show deserve space on a billboard?"

I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.

I think it was the sense that Turn is a spy thriller, and that's a genre that really fascinates me, in general.

I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it's real, and you're really there.

The reason I do small, independent movies is because I want to keep my soul intact and maintain some kind of integrity within this industry.
