Acting is one element in a film. Directing is sort of the painter using all of those elements - sound and music and camera and putting it all together. And that can be fun and exciting. If you fail, it's incredibly upsetting - much more upsetting than when you're an actor. But when you succeed it's incredibly, incredibly exciting, so I like the risk of it all.

I'm the least metrosexual cat you've ever met. I've never had my fingernails or toenails done, and I've cut my own hair longer than other people have cut my hair.

I've always been an optimist.

After a while, you just want transportation, and things like cool cars or motorcycles are all about getting attention. I get all the attention I could ever need, so I kind of like being in a minivan and people not paying so much attention to me.

The funniest thing is that all the things every director goes through, I thought I could shortcut, but there was no getting around those issues.

Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.

I just found out about 10 days ago that I must live 300 or 400 yards from Britney Spears... so now I have to move.
