I love that the idea of examining memory, and the way memory is edited was made more interesting because it was being filtered through a writer.

A director on a film really sets the tone of how people go about things, so everybody is happy to be at work and everybody does their best.

We tell specific stories about ourselves to ourselves and we're all the heroes of our own lives. But you live through certain experiences with other people, and sometimes they have very different takes on what happened.

Almost all the movies I've directed are adaptations. And I think what I found when I went to film school, where they try to push you to find your voice or your thing, is that I got a lot of things out of adaptations.

I'm a big cardigan sweater guy.

School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more.

I don't like sleeping in a bed.
