I loved 'The O.C.' and I totally watch 'Gossip Girl,' too!

I actually got fired from 'The O.C.'

I always liked 'The Outer Limits' as a kid. More than 'The Twilight Zone.'

When I first starting conceiving series like 'Courtney,' 'Polly,' 'How Loathsome,' etc., I was shooting for closed story-arcs but open-ended concepts. Then I started realizing I was committing myself to potentially endless series.

I like the idea of the audience absorbing the language and getting to understand it as they journey through the film. It starts off being more obscure, but you get used to it. A 'Clockwork Orange' thing. I read 'Clockwork Orange' without any vocabulary, and I got to understand the words as I went through it. I like that process. It immerses you.

Up until doing this movie, I hadn't really paid a huge amount of attention to those genres, but after finishing this movie, it really gave me a different sense of appreciation of the way the movies play out.

I'd read a lot of scripts, and I remember reading 'Orange Is the New Black,' and it was at the head of the pack. I remember thinking, 'Wow, that is really good. I would love to be a part of that.'

I don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept.

I loved the material when I first read it, and the experience of making the film was a great one. So when we came around to complete the trilogy, I just signed on board without even reading the scripts because the experience of the first film was so good.

I try to play 'Maneater' by Daryl Hall and John Oates at least once when I drive somewhere. It gets me so 'hype,' as the kids would say.
