I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

I feel there are so many things in this world that have been and are being created that I could spend the rest of my life thinking about, and I couldn't cover all the things I'm interested in. That to me is what makes life sweet-learning and exploring.

But I don't want to die! I have so much to do!

When I research a role it does get a little crazy and maybe even a little stupid.

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.

If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.

As an actor in the classroom, you're revealing so much, and teachers are, you know, they're just critiquing like a painting or a piece of work; it's like, it's you, and it's your emotions that they're working with.
