My mom is a teacher, my dad was a writer for television, his dad was a writer for television, and combining those two has been sort of the goal of my life.
I don't tend to write straight dramas where real life just impinges. But because I don't, when I do, it is very interesting to slap people in the face with just an absolute of life.
Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that count. That's when you find out who you are.

What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.
The people who feel the most strongly about something will turn on you the most vociferously if they feel you've let them down.
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.
I was very proud of my father, and I admired him, but I always thought he was more interesting than the shows he was working on.
I was given license to purely make it my own and yet she is already an iconic Amazon princess,
It is, in an unprecedented sense, your movie. So, it if sucks, it's your fault.
I thought maybe another network or a miniseries,
