I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.

I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.

I play music as much as I can. I have a band called The Abiders. We've put out a couple of albums you can find on iTunes. We tour and all that stuff, so music is very much a part of my life.

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

I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do. You got your own things. And the whole idea of getting a job because of who your father is - that didn't feel right. But after a while I guess I figured I must be doing something right, because people wouldn't keep hiring me if I didn't have something to give.

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.

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