Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
There's a whole system in Hollywood where the director never speaks to the studio, but I like to engage them in a discussion. I listen.
Look, I had a passion for comic books growing up.
I wouldn't take a directing job if I didn't think it was enriching life.
Ultimately, you have to pursue your own path, not someone's idea of the right path. You need to stay on your path.
I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.
