But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.

Running had always been off the table for me. It just looks embarrassing when I do it. I viewed it like learning a new language - best to learn it as a child.

It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. For a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that I was writing.

Directing is about as visual as I get and I will leave artmaking to the rest of the family.

I'm glad if my work can make a difference.

I think if you feel like you were born to write, then you probably were.

For anyone that has ever done a sex scene, it takes on the feeling of learning a ridiculous dance, like the electric slide. It's not a sexy experience.
