Whatever story you're telling in Louisiana, the landscape is going to become a character in it.

I was raised in a heavily Catholic family. Early and consistent encounters with mysticism.

You just do the best you can, and when you're able to connect with people, and when you do, it's just incredibly gratifying.

As human beings, we are nothing but the stories we live and die by — so you’d better be careful what stories you tell yourself.

If I write scripts that nobody likes, I don't think we'll be doing 'True Detective.'

The work is where I tend to feel pressure - not so much in the reaction to it.

I was raised by television. It was my first cultural window. It was a constant companion.
