As you get older and you progress in your career, you start to want to have more control over things and you have ideas.

There are problems everywhere, of course, but you can only see those certain problems when you reach a certain level. So I try to think of those problems as, "This is a sign that I'm having success, that I'm also having issues with this."

There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.

I don't know if I'll ever direct, but producing is dipping my toe into my behind-the-scenes world.

I think that it's a myth that there's one job that makes your whole career, unless you're winning an Oscar. But even that doesn't work for some people.

No one is trying to be bad for the sake of being bad - there's always a reason behind it.

Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.
