As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.

I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.

My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.

I loved working with my brother [Beau] and my father [Lloyd] whenever that happened. I had a wonderful experience making "The Fabulous Baker Boys," which I felt was a great movie, too.

I have no lucky charm. I am 100 percent superstition-free, and I take nothing for granted.

During my early years, I thought I might be a musician. Like most kids, I didn't do what my parents wanted me to do. They were gung-ho that all their kids become actors. They loved showbiz so much. I am a product of nepotism, basically.

You know, it's kind of a shame in a way but the more seasoned directors a lot of times have more difficult getting a job than first time guys. New kid on the block kind of thing.
