I directed and produced Conviction, a movie about a man who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. I got to know Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck very well - he's a character in the movie - and I got very passionate about the cause. It's just so inherently dramatic.

I really enjoy directing television because you get to work in so many different genres and with different people.

It was great to essentially have two protagonists where you're sympathies could go back and forth between the two of them, throughout the season.

My parents kept us sheltered from this world of Hollywood. I don't have any great memories of bouncing on Cary Grant's knee or something like that

I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.

Nothings wrong with honest emotion.

I don't want to do an action movie, because I've acted in them, and they're so boring to do, because they're so technical. The headache of that is daunting. But, if it were an action movie with really interesting characters, how great would that be?
