| Quotes: |
I have a respect for people telling their own stories. Holocaust survivors, cancer survivors, sex workers, pimps - they all wrestle with the same things. They want to survive the onslaughts. They have to make a living. They want to be excited and stimulated by life. I think that surviving in this complex, tossed-about universe is courageous, and how people do that is of great interest to me.

I don't really have a philosophy. When it feels right - right for HBO, and for the particular producer or director - when it's slightly different or experimental on some level, you just lunge at it and take your chances.

You can't come up with an idea if you feel good about yourself. |
