I'm spending all my time and energy on the project at hand.

The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.

I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.

Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand; it doesn't mean you do it.

I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.

I really enjoy behind the camera stuff and I'm a frustrated photographer myself and just love the camera. I love that side of it and that part of the filmmaking world and I enjoy developing things. It's an area that I'll continue to be more active in as time goes by.
