I remember someone said to me, Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep. Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

Well, I think tone is very important with this show [Masters of Sex] because there are certain elements or certain aspects to the show that may be reminiscent of other shows. But, it really is a very new kind of show, in terms of the subject matter and the way it's being dealt with, and the fact that it's about real people and real events.

I find increasingly that the more extreme are the things going on in your life, the more cultural reference points fail you. More mythical reference points actually help, and you realize that's what myths are for. It's for human beings to process their experience in extremis.
