There is a great degree of comfort with your family when you're on a TV show.

An analogy is like a thought with another thought's hat on

Things are never simple when it comes to the human heart.

I feel like the Internet has embraced the pizza dance. I feel appreciated for once in my life.

When you can impress your mom by saying you've been to someone's concert, you know you're pretty lame.

I think in theater it demands that you say the same words every night and make it feel fresh and new. Improv demands that you be operating at the highest level of your creativity intelligence. So these two skills are both very important but I've seen people who are very skilled at one area struggle with the other. Either improvisers feel constrained by having to say the same thing over and over again or people who are really good at doing scripted work feel intimidated and exposed doing improvisation.

The nice thing about a documentary, I think, is that so much of it is editing, too. You sort of get to keep making decisions. It's not as much like when you do a narrative, fictional piece, and you have a certain number of shooting days, and you're like, "Well, that's what it is." You can continue to seek out more photographs or try to find more footage. The genre gives you the ability to keep working on it, which is great for a first-time director.
