When I went into film, it never occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to do whatever I wanted to do. Maybe that was a good thing in the beginning. I had blinders on, and I charged forward.

When you're working in a collaborative storytelling medium, every step of the way, you're opening yourself up.

One of my first episodic jobs was on 'Twin Peaks,' if you can imagine that - one of the most unusual series ever.

To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I've always tried to stay behind the scenes, and I intend to keep it that way.
