I'm a person that thinks time is very precious and our only commodity... It's so upsetting when I feel like something has wasted my time.

Don't compromise when you're right.

No I don't really write thinking about specific actors because it can get in the way a little bit.

I think when you take forever off the table, it does something really interesting to what you think is important.

Most of my nightmares that jolt me awake either involve the cosmos or something completely out of human control. In reality, I worry more about nuclear war, or war in general.

Routine is part of coping.

Actors want to work. Give them characters they want to play, or a story they want to tell, and hopefully the budget will follow.
