A good leader needs to know how to follow.

When you're the guy behind the camera, you're aware of the reasons for the compromises or the changes that get made. As an actor, you go and do your thing, and someone else down the line then does all the math and goes, "We can't include that thing where he's pretending to be dumb and needling those people, because it takes a minute and a half, and it ruins the next scene. It doesn't make sense." If you're directing, you're the one doing that.

I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.

I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.

When you consider the many ways in which people have to make a living every day when they wake up, I figure that eating 20 eggs isn't that bad.

I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.

I was really short in high school. I was stuck on the bench in the baseball team, so I just thought I'd try out theater, and that was the last time I did sports.
