If I don't direct a movie at some point, I've failed personally.

It helps if you don't date other actors, but actresses are beautiful. How can you say no?

I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.

There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.

Really, as long as I am working and have diversity, I am happy.

I do think that sometimes you can invent more palatable or digestible reasons versions or reasons, when perhaps you don't want to admit the truth to yourself, and sometimes we deceive ourselves - along with others - about our reasons and motives.

I try to make all of my roles likeable in some way.
