I Can't Relate To 99% Of Humanity.

When I Was In Pre-production For Trees Lounge, I Was Hearing The Cinematographer Talking With The Production Designer About Colours And This And That And Feeling Like I Was Losing Control.

I Never Had Any Master Plan About Directing, And I Don't Really Write.

My Real Training As An Actor Was When I Started Doing Theatre.

I Just Like Playing Interesting, Complex, Complicated Characters. I Like Films That Also Have An Element Of Humor.

There's A Certain Type Of Character That You Can't Help But Come In Contact With Growing Up And Living In Brooklyn And Long Island. A Certain Mixture Of Moxie, Heart, And A Wise Guy Sense Of Humor.
