The muscles that writers need for film are very different from TV muscles. Now, when I hire the writers and put the writers' room together, I know where their muscles need to be.

Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

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

I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.

I always thought I was going to be the film guy until I died.

Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.

A TV show where all of the characters are trying to figure out what's going on, and the suspense of that, fits my [voice] really well. You feel their frustration, anger and fear, and then, when the reveal happens, their sense of dread or horror, or whatever it is, and I like to paint with those colors.
