Each week the machine is spitting out a number for a new person or a new world within New York that you get to know. And the idea from the beginning was that some of the characters would stick around and become part of the lives of the show, and the world of the show itself will continue to grow.

Television is very different than working on film. With films, you get to develop a set of characters, and then, at the end of the film, you have to throw them away.

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

One of the things with our show is posing a lot of questions, but getting a lot of answers too.

I'm a big believer in pose some questions and then answer a few of them before you move onto the next set of questions.

I've worked in the movie business for many, many years, where you have lots of days and lots of money. It's really mainly about time. We always try to conceive all of our action from a place of, "What can we shoot that looks fantastic?," rather than trying to do the kinds of thing that you would be able to accomplish in a movie.

I've always been interested in themes of memory, paranoia, and revenge.
