'True Detective' would not pass The Bechdel Test.

There's a lot of two-hander dialogue in 'True Detective,' and I needed to place those guys in locations where there were other levels of visual storytelling. It didn't necessarily have to move the plot forward, but it had to add tone or add to the overall feeling.

I enjoy setting the scene and coming up with interesting frames. 'True Detective' was a very hands-on set.

My manager sent me the first two scripts for 'True Detective,' and I just thought they were so interesting and that the world they were depicting was so titillating to me.

I didn't expect anything crazy to happen from 'True Detective.'

I was so nervous that this was 'True Detective' and that I needed to do a good job that I would just dig into every scene.
