I didn't really have any interest in producing anything.

I think people ought to realize that if you're doing investigative reporting, you're putting something on your newspaper or on your website that no one can get anywhere else, and theoretically at least, that should make people subscribe.

I haven't had such an overwhelmingly positive response as I have from The Normal Heart directly to me. And it's a blessing. If this is it, if I have a piano dropped on me tomorrow, then I would go down thinking, 'You know what, I did okay as far as my career goes, because that's a gift. That's rare.'

It's easy to do nothing, but your heart breaks a little more every time you do.

I have a carpool with a corrections officer and a construction worker. My kids get to see that we're not segregated based on wealth or standing. It's very cool.

That's what I love about music...all these banalities suddenly turn into these beautiful, effervescent pearls.

I like to think the movies that I've picked have something worthwhile to say. Something relevant.
