I'm not sitting around saying, 'Man, I'd really love to direct a western.' That's just not something I'm probably going to do, mostly because I'm allergic to horses.
I have great people surrounding me and helping me out. I'm totally in love with directing movies and I hope to do more of it.
There's so much nonsense tossed around about L.A. and how horrible it is and 'don't go out there' and all that stuff. So I went out to L.A. and I was pleasantly surprised.
Sometimes I watch the broad comedies coming out of Hollywood and I think, 'You know, sex is a big part of people's lives, but is that really the only thing men are ever concerned about?' People are more complicated than they appear in film or television.
It's strange to look back over a full season. Our characters have accrued all these memories, but so have we, the actors. And sometimes the character memories and the actor memories bleed into each other.
The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense.
And so, however many people watch this thing, that's how many different opinions there will be about it. But I don't feel like it has an agenda in terms of its ideology. It just presents a story like a mirror. It's a mirror more than it is than a distorted mirror.
Knowing when to say something and when not to say something is important.
I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.
There are just things you can explore in a movie that you can't in 22 minutes with a laugh track.
My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.
Time off from the news is always something I welcome.
We are so vocal about what we hate.
There's something melancholy about professors because they're chronically abandoned. They form these lovely relationships with students and then the students leave and the professors stay the same. It's like they're chronically abandoned.
