Things get complicated at times, so there are certainly moments when you wish your life were different. That's true for everybody, not just people in our profession. But there's nothing I feel like I gave up professionally. I'm absolutely doing what I enjoy.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.

I crave a cone of silence every once in while.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

I am very aware that playwrights, particularly good ones, have a intention for everything they write. Language and punctuation is used specifically, and most of the time actors can find wonderful clues about character in the rhythm and cadence of the language used.

Doing the right thing has power.

You know when someone's over-flattering you in a way. You smile but you can't believe it.
