I think, for me, when I direct my own work it's just an extension of the authorship.
When it's just a few scenes and a couple of actors behaving in a room, I feel very confident with that.
I dont see a lot of movies that portray the East Village as well as I think they can.
The rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic and the best idea wins.
There must be some unwritten law that says about fifty people have to move into your house when somebody dies. If it weren't for the smell of death clinging to the walls, you might think it was your family's turn to host the month neighborhood potluck supper.
You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.
