As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.

Every time I act in something, I learn something about what the director is doing. One feeds the other.

And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don't really care if it's a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it's got a story that's compelling and there's enough money to make the picture.

On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all.

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.

But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.
