I remember opening my dad's closet and there were, like, 40 suits, every color of the rainbow, plaid and winter and summer. He had two jewelry boxes full of watches and lighters and cuff links. And just... he was that guy. He was probably unfulfilled in his life in many ways.

The difference between directing film and directing television is so stark simply because TV is a living breathing organism already when you direct an episode.

I don't necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don't know if it's for me. I haven't come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I'm not sure it would be that way for me.

It's funny when guys don't like to talk about makeup. I'm like, "You know you're wearing makeup, right? We all are."
