- The rule of surfing is never tell anyone where you go.
- For some reason surfing... I'm not scared of the ocean so the risk doesn't seem as great to me.
- Viewers can hate a character and at the same time can't take their eyes off of him.
- But the path you end up on means that you have to close a lot of doors, too.
- Memories are just stories we tell ourselves about our past; and that's often why they don't match when we've shared the same experiences with someone.
- When I first started, I was kind of surprised that anyone would ever hire me at all. So I took everything that I was offered.

- I've never directed anything before 'Mad Men,' so I don't feel I have any advice for the other directors.
- You put a movie star or a bunch of movie stars in a movie, it doesn't mean people are gonna go see it. It's been proven time and time again.
