I like to act. I work for scale. I don't have an acting agent. I'm in the book.

There are genres I don't care for, and I've never worked in those genres, and then sometimes there are people that I haven't liked and I haven't worked for those people. But if I feel like there's a movie that I would like to go see, I'll jump into it.

I don't have a social agenda. I just don't choose to ignore what's in front of me.

Assumptions allow the best in life to pass you by.

As a screenwriter I'm often writing in genres where there have been thousands of movies; whereas when I direct movies they tend to be in between genres. They tend to have a little bit of a genre to them, but they're really about the people, and they're people we haven't met before.

I figured somebody wrote a story who had a typewriter and I thought that movies were made by the cowboys and that they just said, 'Okay, you fall off the horse this time.

When I was really young I didn't know that there was such a thing as a screenwriter. I wrote stories.
