Sometimes rules are there to save your life.
Doug Liman
TV is a safe place to develop real characters.
Doug Liman
I probably shouldn't treat interviews as therapy sessions, but I don't keep a diary, so these end up being my way of keeping track of where I'm at and letting it all out.
Doug Liman
For big Hollywood movies, I'm on the more character-driven side of the equation. So, TV is a natural place for me to be because you've got no choice, but to be character-driven.

In the real world, if you're in a car chase, you're going to hit a million things and your car is going to end up a total wreck by the end.
Doug Liman

Once I'm in the editing room, forget about what I intended to shoot. I take a cold, hard look at what I really did shoot, and then I edit that because, if you try to edit what you intended and you missed somewhere, that will show up.
Doug Liman
It's no secret that my process is a little bit loose and can be a little bit infuriating to a studio if they don't know what they're signing up for.
Doug Liman
The beating heart of your story that's not what shows up in a trailer. The other stuff is what shows up in a trailer, because that's what gets people in to the seats, and that's how studios make their money.
Doug Liman
When you can come across a piece of material that's totally original and fun and completely satisfying, you jump on it.
Doug Liman
To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.
Doug Liman
When I'm working on a film, I think about how it will play with a tiny audience of friends whose opinions I respect, basically a 40-bloc radius from my apartment in Manhattan.
Doug Liman
It's almost a work-shopping process to create the characters with the actors.
Doug Liman
At the end of the day, it's still a show about guys who ride extremely fast motorcycles for a living.
Doug Liman
TV has no choice, but to rely on character, and everybody knows that. I love working in it. It's such a big canvas where, if you're successful, you go on for years.
Doug Liman
If you do something that's really original, you discover why everybody else does it the other way, usually. There's a reason cliches exist, 'cause they work.
Doug Liman
If I'm not in love with the script, there's nothing. It doesn't matter what you give me. It has to start with the script.
Doug Liman
The thing about TV is it's a meritocracy. I love that aspect of it - and I've had shows that have gone on the air and been canceled. I've seen the good and the bad of it.
Doug Liman
It's much easier to do a fight sequence between two people, if one of the two people in the fight is a stunt person, or you're going to risk somebody getting hurt.
