I'm always a little unnerved when I see a show that's set in the past that implies in any way that things were nicer then.

I'm not precious about anything. The effort it took to get something means nothing to me in post.And it means nothing to the audience. I'll chop limbs off. I'll put an arm where a leg should be. I'll do anything.

I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating...anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us-I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you.

I don't consider myself to be particularly gifted in the way that other filmmakers are gifted.

Never had a cup of coffee in my life. Dr Pepper is my caffeine delivery system of choice.

There's definitely a way of thinking and a way of being in the South that has its advantages and disadvantages.

There's nothing else exactly like it in any other art form, the orchestration of so many different elements. It's endlessly fascinating what can be done editorially. You can create meaning where there was none, you can create feeling where there was none, you can create narrative where there was none. Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.
