Every character I play is me, always has been.

Usually with film writing I start with characters, and set about writing their story.

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.

The audience, that's who I care about.

Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!

Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.

Directing takes a good chunk of your life out. It's a very hard thing. As an actor, you go in for a couple of months and do your job, and then you move onto another one. As a director, it's with you for quite some time and you're responsible for the entire thing, whether the results are good or bad, or whether people throw darts at you or put you on a pedestal.
