It's a free country and I can keep my mouth shut whenever I want

I have a gut reaction to stuff that I read. Either it's a filmmaker that I really want to work with, or it's a story that I really want to be a part of and help serve, or there's a character that I feel I can bring something unique to. That's really what it's about. I would go crazy, if I just relied on the same tricks and did the same thing, all the time. It was just be no fun, at all. I really do need to try something different, every time out, and do something that scares me, a little bit.

I was dyslexic, so math and formulas were not necessarily my strong suit.

You are incredibly fortunate whatever success falls on you, which is what happened with me.

Eventually, I think I may end up directing. It would have to be the project where I think that I'm the person to direct it, and I don't know that that's happened yet. I certainly haven't written it, and I don't know if I've read that script yet where I was like, "Okay, I think I'm the guy that needs to direct this."

I'm pretty much your average, energy-saving-light-bulbs-recycling citizen.

I've been through quite a few hurricanes. I worked in North Carolina, where there's a housing development whose name was Landfall.
