In television, the creator is really the voice...

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?

I feel audiences are not given enough credit for their intelligence.

I want to keep doing different things. I'd like to do a more personal, dramatic movie next, I think. But as long as it's about characters and good writing and good parts for actors, that's what's important

I'm always perversely attracted to characters that seem one thing, but are ultimately revealed as another...

We want to live in the black and white, but we don't. The world is gray. And, I'm always fascinated by people who are clearly, 'This is black and this is white, and that's the way life is.' Life always has something to say about that.

I grew up in Hollywood. Saying my name here is like mentioning Ford in Detroit
