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.

Some people, no matter where they look, they see themselves.

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.

The idea of being a show runner was very attractive to me, to create and control something.

Most television shows are going to require an actor sign up from four to six years, but an anthology show really amounts to five or six months at the most. I thought serious actors might be attracted to that.

I find the constraints of drama actually freeing: It brings everything down to character and action.
