Work in the theater is more fun than fun.

What we're doing with Band of Brothers is trying to put it into human terms, so it is not just a flickering, black and white myth on a screen, it is a resonant story. I want the audience to recognize themselves in these men. They're not just mythic heroes.

I come from the school of That Horse is Not Dead.

When you try to bring a story to life, it starts in your head and you see possibilities for it, but it's just one damn thing after another.

I'm not interested in doing something edgy with a capital E just so everyone knows, 'Oh, OK, now he's showing us he can do edgy.'

We're part of a greater humanity and we can actually affect the world by the choices we make once we leave the theater.

I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
