I've directed a fair amount of television series - so I'm always trying to learn new things. One episode was all hand-held and I'm trying to get better at when you should do things and when you should just shut up and watch what the people are saying.

A show is like having a climax. It's like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it's all finished, and you don't know what to do next.

I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.

When I'm coming offstage after my show, I'm thinking about what's on my TiVo.

I have to do a show which is of interest to me, or else I'm lost.

I've always come into a show when the show was already up and running.

I've seen a lot of shows, but I can't possibly cram in everything that I'd like to, and it's exhausting trying to.

When you go to a show on opening night, or even the second performance, it is at the very beginning of what it will become. By the end of this run, the show will actually be what it is intended to be.
