It was really interesting to be editing the film [Trust] in New York and directing the play in Chicago, and one definitely informed the other. The play probably benefitted more because I realized what scenes could be cut, and I cut those scenes from the play.

It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.

I think I'm a very very nice director. Very supportive, very nurturing. I definitely try to challenge my actors but I think I'm very supportive.

I think the other honest attraction was that I just grew up loving watching TV and loving watching film, and there's so many directors and actors that I dreamed of working with, I just really wanted to take a crack at it and see if I could ever work with some of those.

I'm very goal oriented.

If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.

If I'm going to do something, I really put everything into it and I want it to mean something to me.
