Directing Was A Big Learning Experience For Me Because I Had To Deal With Every Aspect Of Everything-all This Constant Decision-making, With People Asking You Questions At Every Moment, And You Have To Have Answers For Them All.

I Really Like When Critics Reveal Their Subjectivity And Their Humanity. I Prefer It When People Say Nice Things, But If They Say Not-nice Things Or Things That Are Critical, I'm Open To It And I Accept It. I Mean, I Have To Live With It. But I Do Think There's A Dishonesty In Not Acknowledging That You're A Person With An Opinion. I Think It's Almost Like A Power Grab.

The Way I Work Is Not The Way That You Work, And The Whole Point Of Any Creative Act Is That. What I Have To Offer Is Me, What You Have To Offer Is You, And If You Offer Yourself With Authenticity And Generosity I Will Be Moved.

So When I Write Characters And Situations And Relationships, I Try To Sort Of Utilize What I Know About The World, Limited As It Is, And What I Hear From My Friends And See With My Relatives.

I Think Generally I'm Kind Of Interested In Subjective Experience, What Goes On Inside Someone's Head, That Being All They Really Know Of The World.
