One of the things that's really fun to tap in with television right now is this sort of explosion, the peak TV moment that we're in, people are exploring different modes of storytelling here. But one of the exciting things here is being able to commit upfront to a big, big, big story.

The thing about working on a TV show is that it becomes, very quickly, all consuming.

Time is an absurdity. An abstraction. The only thing that matters is this moment. This moment a million times over. You have to trust me. If this moment is repeated enough, if you keep trying — and you have to keep trying — eventually you will come across the next item on your list.

Every man is a mob, a chain gang of idiots.

How can you forgive if you can’t remember to forget?

I don't think anyone really understands why a show works or why it doesn't.

I'm a big believer in practical and location photography.
