Drama usually has some sort of intense conflict.

You spend your life training to be an actor, observing people's characteristics so that you can design characters around what you've seen.

That's one of the actor's secrets: With everything you do, learn something new about yourself.

I'm a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.

You know when you're young and you see a play in high school, and the guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around.

If you're doing a biography, you try to stay as accurate as possible to reality. But you really don't know what was going on in the person's mind. You just know what was going on in the minds of people around him.

I always like to try different things, different genres; stories that have a dramatic element and can generate conflict which I find appealing; where the characters have to overcome obstacles. That kind of thing is challenging.
