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'm a little kid at heart, so my eyes light up when everything is lit.

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

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.

If [being confident stems from] a self-esteem issue, it's important to embrace the things you might define as so-called imperfections - because something that you might call an imperfection, someone else might find so amazing and so beautiful. It's all in how you embrace yourself, your faults, and your mistakes in life. There's no better way to learn and become a better person than to go through those moments.

And I don't want to jump out of an airplane - I've done that.
