Interview with George about 'Grave Danger'
CBS Official Site

'Well really, when I first heard that Quentin was gonna direct the episode, uhm...I wasn't that shocked, only because I saw him at the Golden Globes and he had said what a fan he was of the show.  And I was shocked then. Then about, uhm, I guess it was almost a year and a half later, uhm, we get the news that he wants to direct.  Uhm, so that wasn't as shocking to me, uhm, as much as that he wrote it.'

I don't know how, how other actors are, but for me sometimes you think to yourself 'oh wow, now wait a minute, I don't wanna, I don't know if I wanna be in a box covered by ants', you know?  But for us, especially in year 5 to, uhm, be challenged this way, I'm chomping at the bit, I can't wait to get going on it.

Quentin is not missing any moments.  As a matter of fact,  he's doing what directors do, he's finding moments that aren't on the page. He's...he's really giving the time, and the producers have given him the time to explore those scenes, and find every moment  and create new ones.

The stuff in the coffin, uhm, Quentin and I are in agreement that on the day that we shoot that stuff it should just be he and I and a light crew.  Somebody to hit record on the camera and to just go for it, and have it be a more intimate deal. I can only imagine that we're gonna go to a pretty dark place.

This time it's personal!  And, uhm, this is the first time that we've really gotten this deep into Nick's character and to have it be, being cut by Quentin Tarantino?  Let's rock on, you know?  It's gonna be awesome.'
