My family was loving... they were very supportive and very affectionate, and basically I could do what I wanted, and basically it wasn't anything dangerous, thank God.

People so far have been very fond of the Robert Altman movie, as I am, and when one things goes well it shines light on your other projects and now I seem to have a number of projects that are moving forward.

If anyone would have been paying serious attention to my puppet shows, I would have been sent to therapy very young.

I was born on Wellington Avenue and my family that remains lives in the Lake Shore Drive area.

And I think being a good director is being able to be completely tyrannical and you?ve got to be an absolute dictator while at the same time, you have to listen and see everything because it can all change on a dime.

Yes I try to do everything I can not to fail hideously.

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.
