I've always been interested in directing. I started acting when I was thirteen years old, so I've had some desire to do something else in my life.

I feel like everyone I meet is an imaginary friend. I don't know. The older I get the more I wonder what's real.

Directing is like putting together a collage.

In fact, I think my life is always going to be difficult, because I am trying to do something... "original" is a big word. It's kind of pathetic, but I have to love what I'm doing.

The truth is that the more you get paid, the less freedom you have. They never pay you for nothing.

Nightmares are a strange thing. Your worst fear is sometimes something you enjoy thinking about, for some strange reason. I don't know why that is, but it's some kind of fantasy that people play out. "What would I do to protect my children? I'd do anything." And then, you watch it play out. I'm petrified of such a thing.

Nothing teaches you like getting leveled. And I got leveled in my early 30s. Nothing went exactly the way I thought it would.
