One of my first episodic jobs was on 'Twin Peaks,' if you can imagine that - one of the most unusual series ever.
Like any director working today, I started out when somebody took a shot at hiring me. It's how we all start out - male, female, white or minority.
I was born in Dallas, and I grew up both there and in New York City, which was very schizophrenic.
I like to really know what every scene is about, what the text is, what the subtext is. Then I figure out how to express that when I'm shooting.
I don't ever want to impose something on the story. I want the story to tell me.
Every creator sets up their world differently. That's what's so amazing about someone like Aaron Sorkin and his writing.
