I look at actors very closely. It's not an accident when the actors excel.
The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work.
Casting is 65 percent of directing.
One of the first lessons you learn as an actor is to listen.
There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world.
It's very eclectic, the way one chooses subjects in the movie business, especially in the commercial movie business. You need to develop material yourself or material is presented to you as an assignment to direct.
