If you spend any time on the shooting of a drama, for television or movies, it's very slow and there's a lot of standing around.

I think the part I enjoy most is reading the scripts and screening films because I'm a bookworm and a movie buff.

I depend a lot on my own judgment, for better or worse.

I love mysteries on television – the more psychologically complex the better.

People love solving puzzles, and you always love it when somebody smarter than you is solving puzzles.

When complicated characters aren't well drawn, they're boring.

Anybody who pitches a story or an idea for a film to an executive, whatever the latest hit is, is what you're comparing it to.
