My hometown was one of the major U.S. Air Force bases.

I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...

So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it's very rare that you see it private.

Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.

Mostly it's like, I get inspired by something and I want to learn that part of filmmaking, I want to delve into that kind of depth. And leading, also, a lot of people. A lot of people, for two years of their life they follow me, and they believe what I believe in. So that's some responsibility and I'd like to make it worth the effort.

There's a certain time in the core of making a movie from pre-production to halfway through post-production I don't read any project, my agent will tell people that "he's not reading." And then when I know how the movie's probably gonna work halfway into post-production, I'll come along.
