I'm trying to be really coy, and I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job.

If I can be a working actor, if I can be an actor and not have a day job, I'll be fine.

I love working with actors. I grew up with a lot of actors. All my friends are actors. I love that process.

Each one is different. Each project is different. Some are silly, some are not. Some are more realistic, some are not. Some are overly dramatic, some are not. You've just got to try and find the thing that's most engaging and entertaining in whatever way, shape or form, and it's different every time.

I pretty much know that directing means that you have to answer about a thousand questions every day and you have to answer them quick.

I'm always amazed that anyone is paying attention to anything that I do, you know what I mean? I feel like I'm constantly having conversations with people where they're saying, "I didn't know that you could be serious," and then other people are saying, "Oh, I didn't know that you could do comedy." And so I don't know if it really helped too much with this. I like to think that it does.

I come from a visual background. I used to work in the camera department at Warner Bros. when I was a teenager. I grew up dusting lenses and learning about photography.
