The way I see it, when I go out as an actor, it should be on a type of film I'm never going to do as a director.

I try not to be too plot-heavy and to balance the dramatic with the comedic.

It's an enormous wall that's built between you and your dreams. And if every day, you just chip away... It may take ten years, but eventually you just might see some light.

Trust your actors. That's why I work with the same actors time and time again. I encourage them to change the dialogue to achieve one thing: keep the characters honest.

Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make Star Wars, but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot.

Woody Allen would go for seven years without a movie and then make one that makes no money.

You make a movie for 9k for the freedom it allows you.
