If I get an interesting script, I will surely do it. I just don't want to do cliche films.
I like to take people you wouldn't really think people would write novels about: an aqueduct engineer, a code-breaker, a hedge-fund manager. It's in those sorts of lives that I find more fascination than in a CIA operative or a Marine or something like that.
I don't want there to be a typical episode of 'The Walking Dead.' I want to try to give people different things every week because that's what I dig.
For so long, TV consisted of a limited number of shows a year, and those shows had to appeal to as many people as possible. The joy of TV now is that shows don't have to be broad anymore - they can be small, weird, and niche.
Jim Crace's novels have one thing in common, which is that each is set in an entirely original world. None of these worlds is of a specific time or place, but they seem to have some connection to our own lives.
I have never had a better working experience than 'St. Elsewhere.' It's a supreme show.
I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.
I've had a couple of storylines in the past that have never been done by a soap before, which is nice.
I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.
