I'm very political. Because I read politics every day, so I'm familiar with the world. I approach the films is I'm trying to write what is true, so that supersedes partisan spin, in my opinion. I find partisanship is a thing for cable news and newspaper articles, but it's not interesting for art. I think we all believe what we believe, and I don't think a film is going to change someone's mind.

I took a lot of writing courses.

I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.

Screenwriting is definitely the majority of my time, but I do still act when stuff comes up. I do a few jobs a year.People ask me that all the time about written something for yourself to star in, and it's strange. I just approach it as two separate careers.

My strangest auditioning experience was when I was reading for a TV show, and right when I started the audition, the casting director left the room and yelled at me from the hallway to keep reading.

The auditioning process is one in which the actor gets very little information about almost every element of it.

Certainly, for me, and it's gone this way on every project I've worked on, the "writing" never ends until you're done with the movie.
