I'm interested in social commentary.

I suppose I like to think of myself as a film-maker.

Character and emotionality don't always have to be relegated to quieter, more simple constructs.

My criteria for doing a television series never changed. I wanted more stability, I wanted more of a sense of family, I wanted to do light comedy.

Those of us who work in the arts know that depiction is not endorsement. If it was, no artist would be able to paint inhumane practices, no author could write about them, and no filmmaker could delve into the thorny subjects of our time.

I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.

I don't know if I thrive in normal life.
