I have a Google alert for myself - it's pure vanity.

I'm fortunate enough to act in a TV show that makes me a lot of money so I can pay for my own movies. I don't have to wait for anybody and that's more of what I like doing. But I still think that you don't have to be connected in the industry to make your movie. You just have to write something that is meant to be made cheaply.

A lot of solo directors have a really strong creative producer with them. Jay and I have less of a need for that because we have each other.

I really believe in constantly trying to find and support new ways of watching independent art, because the old ways are not working as well.

Making movies that are really cheap and that can be owned and that you maintain your control of is really exciting.

When you're improvising, it's fun to find something that you can lean on that is similar to your life experience. In my opinion, that's very helpful.

I'm a narrative-minded actor. I'm thinking of the story. I'm not worried about whether the camera is on the right side of my face, or where the camera is. I'm just going for the story.
