You Don't Really Prepare For A Kissing

We Tell Specific Stories About Ourselves To Ourselves And We're All The Heroes Of Our Own Lives. But You Live Through Certain Experiences With Other People, And Sometimes They Have Very Different Takes On What Happened.

I Was Supposed To Go Out With This Girl, But The Plans Mixed Up Because I Was Working Late. So I Went To Her Apartment With A Flower. She Was Asleep, But I Really Wanted To See Her. I Figured I'd Be Like Romeo, And Climbed Up To Her Balcony And Gave Her A Rose. She Was Very Shocked. After That, It Was Over.

When I Was Younger, I Thought, 'ok, I'm Supposed To Do This Project Because It'll Help My Career,' But That Didn't Work Because I Ended Up Doing Movies That I Worked Really Hard On But I Didn't Really Like And They Didn't Turn Out Well, So It Was Like I Lost Double. Once I Just Started Working With People And Projects I Believed In, Everything Changed And I Suddenly Had A Career That I Loved And That I Was Proud Of.

I've Been Acting For Many Years Now, And I Find There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Making Films With My Friends And People I Like, Who Also Are The Funniest People Around.

I'm Starting To Teach Now: I Teach In The Graduate Film Program At Nyu And Next Year I'm Going To Be Teaching At Los Angeles At The Film Program And English Program At Ucla.
