There are two things that interest me - and they're both power, ultimately. One is not having it and one is abusing it.
The fact is some people really love my work, some people not so much, but at the end of the day, I don't want anybody coming out of the movie thinking about me.
Part of making TV is the process - you just have to churn it out.
Our luck? You noticed anything in particular about our luck these past few days? Any kind of pattern? You depend on luck, end up on the drift, no fuel, no prospects, begging for alliance make-work and towed out to the scrap belt. Well, that ain't us. Not ever.

I'm very much more interested in the created family than I am in actual families.
In TV the attitude is: 'Tell me what we have and we'll build around that,' ... Feature filmmaking seems more like, 'Give me everything and then I'll choose.'
