My very first job was working on a TV show that was a prestigious TV show and well done - was called 'Family.'
From Edward Zwick
People, especially press, want to pigeonhole you.
If a director is really a director, I think he's interested in more than one thing.
I might have painted myself into a bit of a corner doing all these big, serious David Lean-esque movies.
I know that when I'm writing, I always want to be directing.
I was trained in the repertory theater. You would do Moliere one night and Sam Shepard the next.
I've always been drawn to all sorts of genres and all sorts of voices.
I guess television is so much on the word. It's so much closer to playwriting - the scale is more just about the voices and the internal lives. Movies, it's a very different canvas.
I've never been one of those guys who storyboards every frame, because that would take away some of the mystery and some of the fun.
My job is to tell the truth about what's happening as best I can.
