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

I like an interesting movie even if it's controversial or offensive, depending on your taste.

I started drinking Scotch just to be a man.

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 worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I'd want to kick my own ass.

I wish I came from a more pure place. I don't have something to say from the bottom of my soul. I just know how to take stuff I like and repackage it in a slightly different way.

I love movie-making. I'm interested in writing and directing, and I've dabbled, but I haven't done anything I care to brag about. Yet.
