Nothings wrong with honest emotion.

Whether it's movies or television that I've directed, or characters that I've played, I'm just always fascinated by the moral ambiguity inherent in life.

I'm always perversely attracted to characters that seem one thing, but are ultimately revealed as another...

Once you go Kerry Washington, you can’t go back

My two daughters live on Facebook and social media is their mode of communication.

I grew up in Hollywood. Saying my name here is like mentioning Ford in Detroit

My parents kept us sheltered from this world of Hollywood. I don't have any great memories of bouncing on Cary Grant's knee or something like that

I really enjoy directing television because you get to work in so many different genres and with different people.

I think I've inherited a kind ofwillfulness, a kind of quiet willfulness that I'll just hang in there with something until it happens.

Life is a very emotional experience.

If you're playing with the best, you just rise up to that level

It was not lack of ability that limited my people, but lack of opportunity.

The winds have a force so terrific as to eclipse anything previously known in the world. We have found the kingdom of blizzards. We have come to an accursed land.

My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.

You can't be a sort of pioneer.

I retain the opinion that council entry is inconsistent with non-co-operation as I conceive it.

If the Devil is an evil computer, who the hell programmed it? Who is the Dr. Frankestein of this abominable character?

Anything that's really grounded in humanity and is real, but just happens to be faux pas, or just really shouldn't be funny, I like it.

Live just because or live your life for a cause
