If you want to make movies you need to think on a micro-micro level and figure out how to make them for nothing with people who really care about your movie and really want to make it.

I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.

I've been lucky to be able to work with great people and on interesting material.

I need what I'm thinking to come out into the world, even if it's a two-word approval, like, "Yeah, I agree," I need that approval so that in the morning I can get up and use that when I go to work. It's a weird version of focusing.

It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.

I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can.

My playing music is strictly for fun. When I was in a band, I was really excited to talk about it since I had never really played music to that extent. It was never meant as something I would consider as anything more than having fun with my friends. But I think I would enjoy writing music for the movies that I'm working on.
