I do find it sometimes that people project their own feelings on to the characters and I think that there is a certain amount of sexism - I mean the proprietary nature, for men and women.

As far as casting, I'm there for every single person that's cast. Even if it's one word, I'm there for their auditions.

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

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.

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

It's an ugly thing to see ambition and to see people satisfying themselves.

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.
