I hope to keep working with television. I wouldn't mind doing more.

If I don't have to think about the commercial aspect of it, then I feel like I'm going to make better films.

I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor.

There's so much great TV and I always thought it would be such a fun little sideway to make money and then not have to worry about my films making a lot of money.

Hmm, can I be obvious and say there is probably a double standard for male vs. female directors? Sadly, I think that's actually the case. And it probably stems from the fact that there are proportionately so many fewer women directors than men ones that each project is perhaps more closely scrutinized for its content.

I'm drawn again and again to relationships between people who really, really want to connect and just can't get out of their own way to do it.

I like being able to just turn the microscope on a small number of people, get to know them, drop into their lives for a period of time.
