I had a desire to do TV and wanted to get in, in the right way, knowing that I was going to learn a lot, along the way.

I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.

My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.

There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.

I love 'The Killing', I love 'Homeland' and 'Mad Men', all those shows that lean into the tone of things.

My directing style is long takes. The longer take I can do, the more I can think of not doing it in cuts, the better.

For instance, The Sixth Sense had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.
