As a kid, you want to be liked for who you are. You don't want to be liked for who your parents are. You don't want to get a job because of who your parents are. You want to do it on your own, with your own gifts and your own value. So, I decided to spare my kids that and not be as pro-active as my dad was.

I'm not counting any chickens.

Like most of the movies I get involved with, I resisted as long as possible, I really try to figure out why I shouldn't do it and this one had plenty of reasons "not to do it".

I do a lot of ceramics.

In life and in movies, it's a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.

It's a wonderful metaphor, catching a wave, for how you can look at other challenges in your life.

I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.
