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.

Relationships are super complicated and always have dark and light in them. And all good sexual relationships do, too.

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

Capital punishment? It makes no sense as a policy: It's not a deterrent, and economically it's a disaster. It's very clear that there are innocent people on death row. And if I put an innocent person to death, that's murder.

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

Even when a pilot goes, you shoot it in March or April, and then you have to rush it through post-production by May. If they greenlight it, then you go and there's no time to think about it. And then, you've gotta start shooting in July, so you're off to the races.

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.
