I respect the rules of TV, the rules of keeping things commercial and interesting and pop-y and fun.

'The Sixth Sense' is fine the second time around, but honestly, the first time around, it's dazzling.

We had the camera locked, but not the location of the sun.

I set out in television with one simple goal: to purchase a Russian bride. Didn't work out. Immigration stuff - it's complicated.

If something isn't working, if you have a story that you've built and it's blocked and you can't figure it out, take your favorite scene, or your very best idea or set-piece, and cut it. It's brutal, but sometimes inevitable.

There was a time before I felt I was a real writer, when I was a yarn spinner and I just wanted to tell story until it was over. But then there came a time where I was like, 'No, I want to understand something through writing this that I might have not understood before. I want people to come away with something to think about.'

I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'
