I'm an actor who loves to direct film, if I find something that I'm compelled to do and want to spend three or four years doing. I really love the process, though. I might have to just say, "Yeah, I want to direct that," because I want to direct something, but that's just not the way my being is. It's got to be a necessity for me, otherwise I'll just keep acting.

I have a tight family group that's really important to me. I don't want to work all the time.

When I decided to direct, never having done that before, is something I'm very proud of

You get three hours' sleep and then you start all over again. Relentless. Pre-production was almost harder than filming. I was all over the city every day. It was really exhausting.

I feel like my place in this industry is still progressing.

For The Truman Show, I worked for a few weeks, do my gig, then I was done.

You can't betray yourself too often, or you become somebody else.
