I am trying to be as impartial as possible. As you can tell from the trailers for Mad Men, I am a person who believes that you should know nothing.

On the set, I visit the set for a lot of the rehearsals, and there's always a writer on set. And then I'm involved in post-production, very intensely involved in editing, and the sound mix and color timing. Really, I have about nine jobs.

I'm very supportive of creative people being paid for the work that they do.

I think there's a kind of elegance to it, to work within that framework where what you don't see is often more enticing.

That's the miracle of telling a story in film: You can express something inside someone's mind.

All human stories are interesting. You don't put a kid in a show because you need a device. They have a story, too.

My major goal is to take my bathrobe off before the kids get home from school.
