It is not about whether you are an executive, a studio or a network. If you have a story or an idea you can build a following for it.

If there is one thing I object to, its actors talking about how tough their jobs are.

The audience has spoken. They want stories. They’re dying for them. They’re rooting for us to give the right thing. And they will talk about it, binge on it, carry it with them on the bus and to the hairdresser, force it on their friends, tweet, blog, Facebook, make fan pages, silly GIFs, and god knows what else about it..

I'm not someone who's led my life trying to get publicity; I'd rather do my work and go home.

After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.

I've done big studio films and the big studio films I've done, I've tried to do the interesting ones and the ones where I could live with myself in the morning.

I love producing, I love bringing things together.
