I love helping someone else tell their story, but I like being the storyteller sometimes.

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.

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 spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it.

Ive always been pretty energetic.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

I try to educate myself as much as possible, as I do with the director and the designers and everyone I used to work with. It just helps, I think, with the frame of reference for who you're working with.
