If you're playing with the best, you just rise up to that level

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

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

Whether it's movies or television that I've directed, or characters that I've played, I'm just always fascinated by the moral ambiguity inherent in life.

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

My sex scenes with @kerrywashington are f****** hot!
