  • "Ultimately, no matter how good that relationship is with a showrunner, there's going to come a point where you've got to get out of the room."Variety: TV's Showrunners Outrank Directors (August 15, 2008)

  • "You have to fall in love with the material in order to care. Then once you fall in love, you have to quickly revert to a kind of one-night-stand relationship with the material. That's the attitude that you have to take if you're going to survive the whips and lashes of outrageous fortune in television."Variety: TV's Showrunners Outrank Directors (August 15, 2008)
