I approach directing from an actor's standpoint.

I love the art of filmmaking very much in all aspects.

I think a lot of us can relate to not choosing to face a painful memory, and something that's a painful past, and wanting to pretend like it never happened.

I love directing; it felt right to me when I did 'Flying Lessons'. It's something I will do again. Really, you can always be working and developing. That's something that's kind of ever constant.

There's lots of incredible roles out there that I'd love to tackle, but there's a select group of actors I find myself gravitating towards, like Philip Seymour Hoffman or Sean Penn or Daniel Day-Lewis - real transformational actors.

I come from a family where my father is a filmmaker and professor of film.

I'd say I'm definitely an actor first and foremost, but I love filmmaking.
