I feel like I want to keep moving toward idiosyncracy. Personal, personal, personal.

My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.

I like actors - I used to be one.

There is so much crap in the world, both in show and other businesses, that I try to be vulnerable myself, in the hopes that there is some truth I can get to, that makes people feel less alone in the world.

I'm trying to tell a story and do it truthfully.

The passionate ones, the ones who go after what they want, may not get what they want, but they remain vital, in touch with themselves, and when they lie on their deathbeds, they have few regrets.

It's good when someone comes to a book or a movie and interacts with it. It's the difference between an illustration and a painting. An illustration serves a specific purpose, and a painting is something you can immerse yourself in.
