Sand Is Overrated. It's Just Tiny Little

You're Dealing With The Body, And You're Dealing With Bodily Functions. We Romanticize Everything About People In Movies.

I Think I've Had Pretty Good Experiences For The Most Part With The People Who Have Directed My Screenplays. It's More That I Wanted To See What It Would Be Like If I Didn't Have To Collaborate With Anybody, To Have A Sense Of Purity Of The Thing From Beginning To End. I Liked Doing It. It's Really Different From Writing. Directing Is A More Pragmatic Experience, Where You Have To Deal With The Restrictions Of Time And Money That Force You To Make Certain Decisions You Don't Have To Make When You're Writing.

As I'm Writing, I Start To See Connections, And Themes I Didn't See, And That Sparks Other Things. So Then I Go Back And Rewrite Things Or Alter Them. It's A Combination Of Intuition And A Lot Of Finessing. It Becomes A Combination Of The Rational And The Irrational.

There Is So Much Crap In The World, Both In Show And Other Businesses, That I Try To Be Vulnerable Myself, In The Hopes That There Is Some Truth I Can Get To, That Makes People Feel Less Alone In The World.

I Can Talk Endlessly About Characters, Or Why Someone Did This Or That, And What That Dynamic And Interaction Is. I Really Love It, And I Think That Actors Really Respond Positively To The Fact That I Like To Talk About That Stuff, Because I'm Not Sure That All Directors Do.
