I've never directed anything before 'Mad Men,' so I don't feel I have any advice for the other directors.

I don't have to worry about how my movies sell because I'm not the guy in front.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

I've done a lot of pilots. A lot of shows. You're young and you do a job just because you know someone gave you a job.

I do voiceovers, but being on-camera and selling something? I wasn't really interested. And then I thought, well, wait a minute. Everybody's selling something. When you turn on the tube... And then if you go to Europe or Asia, everyone is selling something. All the guys that don't want to be seen selling something here are selling something there. So I thought what the hell?

I think I gravitate towards people who express themselves in a simple and funny way.

I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be, if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.
