“Have you seen McConaughey in 'Unsolved Mysteries?' Even back then, it'...” — Cary Fukunaga Quote

Have you seen McConaughey in 'Unsolved Mysteries?' Even back then, it's a great performance! And he's mowing the lawn.

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.

I'm definitely sensitive to the idea of exploitation. You don't want to glamorize certain things.

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.

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.

I was famous in a way that was kind of terrifying. I had no protection. When reporters showed up at my house, there wasn't even a sidewalk. They were literally parked on my front lawn.

I mow my own lawn.

I grew up in Florida, so every now and then, we'd have a garter snake in the lawn. But I'm not super okay with them.

When you get a co-star with whom you can do some give-and-take, it becomes like one of those lawn tennis matches where you give a great reply to a serve.

I wish I'd not taken off all my clothes in my first television series, 'The Camomile Lawn.'
