I think that directing is the ultimate martyred task of filmmaking, that it has nobility to it. It takes three years to make a film, for the most part. I think it requires the attentiveness of a mother hen. I don't know how people raise children and direct films. I'm sorry, I don't know, how can you be good at both?

To me, there's no greater reward than being around people you care about and can be present with.

I'm not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.

You can't get work without working.

For me, going away to work is the hardest part of my life and career.

For me, I don't even like to promote my films but I have to because it's in the fine print of my contract.

Because I tend to kind of hide under the sheets when it comes to reality television. I've seen probably one episode of maybe five different shows, and that's about it.
