I am working with writers and producers to have a more proprietary relationship over shows, having more ownership and creative control.
Claire Danes in 'Homeland' just blew me away. She is so intuitive, and her choices are so unique. When you see somebody like that work, you just have to stop in your tracks. It is a lesson in what good acting really is, and it is so inspiring to be around.
The best way I know to get good work out of people is to create a good environment so that people have a good experience. I try to always hold up my own end by being prepared.
Talent is obviously very important, but it's also about how you approach the work and, you know, maybe this is a Canadian thing, but it's good to be nice.
