I've had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father - he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know?

I think one of the things I was most interested in finding out was how differently we approached our work. And my reality was that we didn't approach it very differently at all, which was funny.

I didn't realize that television has gone through immense changes and has become very progressive.

I think the most attractive thing is a sense of humour. If someone can make you laugh, you've gotten a lot out of the way.

I feel extraordinarily peaceful when I'm watching the sun set.

My focus on 9/11 was on the victims - in the towers, in the planes - and all that loss.

I've always thought of the western as American storytelling at its best.
