In the late '70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa, but that's gone now.

I've done a lot of TV, but not film.

I always knew I wanted to be in front of the camera. But even after 10 years behind the scenes at CBS News producing live segments, celebrity profiles, and breaking news, I still hadn't been given the chance to be on TV.

I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.

Television has dried up for my generation, so it's plays and films.

I was in a profession that received a lot of media.

I was broadcast-struck from an early age; I had saved up for a tape recorder and started making programmes.

I was working my first adult job, a quasi journalistic job, writing content for a website. In the offices, we had banks of TVs, papers, a constant media stream, which was unusual for 2001.

I thought I'd never do film, let alone television. I was a diehard theater nut.

Well, I'm directing a lot of television these days.
