I've been clawing my way to directing since I was a kid.

The fun of directing for me, other than working with the actors, is trying to extract those ideas that you have in your head and make them real.

I just wanted to make movies, but I never though about, "How am I being perceived because of my culture or my skin?"

If you can make the day, you can do whatever you want.

TV is all new to me because I came from features.

Ryan Murphy just gives new people a shot, and it takes a lot of confidence and generosity to do that.

I don't set out to do something weird, but if you see something a certain way and it's a little left of center, and you can realize it, that's a real thrill.

It becomes an extension of your imagination to make something tangible and concrete.

To me film school was film history because there weren't a lot of books out there that I had access to.

At some point, you have an opportunity to not be a first-time filmmaker anymore. You can embrace the genre and show the world how you can tell stories on a bigger scale.

If someone already knows you from being in the trenches with you on this TV schedules, and then you have a little bit more time, it's a treat for them, as well, because they can give you more.

When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.

Truth is immortal

Greatness in the making feels just like you feel right now. Time will soon tell.

Peace is the evening star of the soul, as virtue is its sun, and the two are never far apart.

Every revolution begins with the power of an idea and ends when clinging to power is the only idea left.

It's huge in the U.K., if someone's doing well, to put them down. That's what we do all the time. It's kind of like a cultural thing.

The real wonder is not that one man should be a genius, but that every man should not be.

And it was this image that was stamped on the hearts and minds of all who were present that day. Of Froi of the Exiles holding the future of Lumatere in his hands.

Dance well with a woman, and she's halfway yours.

I'm what they call the love addict!
