- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.
- Detailed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I binge write, basically. I do a lot of prep, research, setup. I'll have a pretty detailed outline. Sort of like a beat outline. And then I'll add little notes and dialogue ideas, and I'll just create a 20-page document.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I see an image in my head that compels me, where there's this mystery about what's going to happen next or could happen next, I'll be intrigued. There are so many scripts that you read, and you know exactly what's going to happen, and there aren't too many where you can't tell within the first 20 pages where it's going.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Have you seen McConaughey in 'Unsolved Mysteries?' Even back then, it's a great performance! And he's mowing the lawn.
- Pass
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'True Detective' would not pass The Bechdel Test.
- Little
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I began writing fictional stories and little screenplays when I was in fifth grade.
- Grow Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't grow up watching detective shows. I've never even seen an episode of 'CSI.'
- Dental
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My dad worked for a generator company and then UC Berkeley, and my mom was as a dental hygienist and then eventually a history teacher. My uncles and aunts, all of them are elementary school teachers or scientists.
- Her
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My grandma was really sick when I was working on 'Sin Nombre' and eventually died that summer when we were finishing the film. But I was able to bring an unfinished version of the film for her to watch.
- Guy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mom was married to a Mexican guy - a surfer - and so we'd kind of camp out on the beach the swell season.
- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you have a script, and you're discussing what it can be, and who going to play what role, that's a kind of like a fantasy football game. You can imagine these different dream teams interpreting these characters that only exist in your head.
- Creating
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As storytellers, you're always somehow creating history.
- Discipline
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I learned discipline on 'Jane Eyre.' Charlotte Bronte's dialogue, the intellectual duel between Rochester and Jane Eyre's character, is so compelling that you didn't have to do much with the placement of cameras.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The problem with being a writer/director: unless you're really disciplined, you start adding projects, and you have to make time to make them. Because you have to write them... no one else is writing them for me.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In terms of tackling different subjects, I can't really think of anything I wouldn't want to try; that's the fun of it right? Each new style brings new challenges - not that you shouldn't focus on one and master it, but it takes so long to make a film, you just want to have some variety.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After 'Sin Nombre,' I just needed to take a break to go to completely different worlds.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The anticipation-speculation that comes with a weekly schedule is a double-edged sword. Because people have more time to talk about things, some crazy ideas get a lot of attention.
- Possible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In TV, you have no time and sort of just carpet bomb the scene with as many angles as possible as quickly as possible and find it in the edit.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tom Hooper had done 'John Adams,' and David Lynch did 'Twin Peaks.' I figured I could do eight hours of television, and I wanted to.
- Chronological
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obviously, a lot of TV shows are based on chronological episode viewing, and the stories are contingent upon watching it in order. Syndicated shows, you don't have to watch in order. You're just watching characters that don't change that much.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You need the actors to feel as much ownership of the performance and the direction of the story as you do to get the most out of everyone's potential. Part of it is just making sure we all have the same vision.
- Forward
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a lot of two-hander dialogue in 'True Detective,' and I needed to place those guys in locations where there were other levels of visual storytelling. It didn't necessarily have to move the plot forward, but it had to add tone or add to the overall feeling.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're directing, it doesn't really matter any more if it's going straight to TV - what matters is whether you have the resources to make a story that moves you.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Increasingly, there's much better material on television, but there's not always the time and money to make it, so you've got to make sure you make it in the right place. It also depends on time commitment; a lot of directors will make a pilot, but a series is just a whole other level of involvement.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My friends just make fun of me in some shape or form.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'Sin Nombre,' there are parts that I wish were longer. And with 'Jane Eyre' especially, there were parts that I had to compress that I thought it would have been really nice to spend more time with - to spend with the characters.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My manager sent me the first two scripts for 'True Detective,' and I just thought they were so interesting and that the world they were depicting was so titillating to me.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Collaborations aren't easy, but you definitely get something highly different than had you done it on your own. That's part of the experience.

- Nov 07, 2020
An eight-hour movie is definitely not a two-hour movie. An eight-hour movie is really like five independent films, if you think about it, because each is usually an hour and a half. In some ways, it is like making a movie. It's just a lot more information.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd done the method bit before from, like, age 15 to 19. I was a Civil War re-enactor.
- Movie
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do want to direct a movie from horseback one day.
- Horse
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So often at home in the West Village, I'm like, 'Why aren't I allowed a horse?' I would keep a horse in a stable in my apartment, and I would fit him with rubber shoes, and we'd just roll him out. If I needed to go to a meeting somewhere, I'd just get on my horse and go across town.
- Night
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a city like New York, especially for young professionals who aren't in a family situation, most people don't cook for themselves. This is the only city I've ever lived in where I eat out every night.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No, ramen's not good for you. But in Japan, our favorite thing to do after drinking all night, especially in Sapporo where it's freezing cold, is to go to the ramen place at two, three in the morning.
- Kid
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Jane Eyre' was one of those films that I was familiar with as a kid, and I always enjoyed the story.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't storyboard, and I don't really shot list. I let the shots be determined by how the actors and I figure out the blocking in a scene, and then from there, we cover it.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have no idea what it would be like to be just one thing and speak one language. I feel enormously privileged to travel and be able to mingle and speak to people that, had I only known English, I wouldn't have been able to meet.
- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mom loved the old black-and-white films.
- Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was imagining films in my head and trying to gather friends together to make movies since I was a kid. I tried to do comedy skits and a horror film.
- Hospital
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wrote my first script, which was 50 pages, at age 15. It was about two brothers in love with the same nurse while they're convalescing in a Civil War hospital.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You work with the communities to make films. And you just don't go in and take over their territory.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing, for me, is an inherent part of understanding the material on a deeper level.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love period pieces. But it's hard to get money to make costumed dramas, so we'll see.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To be straight, I was kind of a dork, and in order to fulfill the creative fires burning inside me, I participated vigorously as a Civil War re-enactor through most of my teenage years, traveling across the country to participate in large scale reenactments - grandiose plays enacted by over weight history buffs and war enthusiasts alike.
- Political
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was 20, I was living in the Alps, snowboarding and studying political science. I blew out my knee, and I began to realize my days in the sport were numbered; the reality was I would never be a pro.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some directors don't get involved in the cinematography and are just about story, but I'm definitely more tactile than that in terms of my involvement in the minutiae.
- Enjoy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I enjoy setting the scene and coming up with interesting frames. 'True Detective' was a very hands-on set.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to make my sophomore film as different as possible. I didn't want to be pigeonholed. I didn't want to be identifiable.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's easy to make something avant garde. To do something in the traditional way is much more brave in the sense that you're - your technique is so much more exposed because there's not all this flashy stuff to distract the viewer.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every single substitute teacher growing up could not pronounce my name, so whenever someone pauses, I'm like, 'Oh, that's me.'
- Behind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm clearly not meant to be in front of the camera. I'm really not meant for anything but behind the camera.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's hard because there's a part of me that wants 'True Detective' to win every award we're nominated for. But I'm a huge fan of 'Breaking Bad' and 'Game of Thrones.'
- Exciting
