Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.

When I look at interviews from when I was that age, I come off different than how I am because I've matured - and I've matured, become a man in front of the public eye.

When you go out to make something, you want it to be great. You need to put a bubble around that, so no one can get into the force field and change what you're setting out to make. That's all us being producers is doing, is allowing our power to protect the integrity of what you're doing.

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

Every time you're directing a movie you're kind of building a temporary business. You're hiring all these heads of departments, and it definitely feels like I'm like a CEO of a very temporary company.

The drama thing was something I've always wanted to do, but the opportunities are rare, and they have to be the right ones.

Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don't understand them.
