If you just read the book, you're taking in the narrative, you're taking in the characters, you're understanding it in a certain way. If you make a movie it's really an act of translation.

"The Wolfpack" is a real life clash of life and fiction and the saving power of brotherhood and make-believe.

It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.

I don't consider weed to be any worse than having a beer.

I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

I still work really hard, but I like to think I'm a little smarter about at least the type of movie I'm getting into.

Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.
