We're Like A Gardener With A Hose

I've Always Been Attracted To Ensembles. When I Started Doing Plays In High School And In College, I Always Loved The Community Aspect Of It. I Loved These Little Families That Would Develop.

I Find Myself Going Out Less And Less. When You're 22 And See Older People Start To Do That, It's Depressing, But Once You Hit 30, You Think, 'wow, I've Been Working All Week - It Might Be Really Nice To Stay In!

Knowing When To Say Something And When Not To Say Something Is Important.

My Film School Is Making Movies. But, I Do Think That Being An Actor Has Served Me Immensely, As Both A Writer And Director, In Terms Of Knowing What Is Playable And What Will Be Fun To Play, For Actors, And Also How To Communicate To Actors On Set, And Not Screw Them Up And Get Them In Their Head.

And As A Filmmaker, I'm Trying To Unhook Myself From This Idea That Unless You Have A Brilliant, Long, Enormously Lucrative Theatrical Run, That Your Movie Somehow Failed. And I Don't Believe That.
