I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.

For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time.

For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.

As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
