It's nice to be in a world where you're not going to exhaust storylines with potential villains.

The desert feels Irish in a way - lonely and barren. If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.

It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.

A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.

Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.

I have 52 first cousins. My mom and dad were the only two to move to North America, so I've got deep family there, but I'm a California kid.
