It doesn't feel like you're preaching, if you can say something in a joke.

It's like two years straight out of your life doing a film. It's very enjoyable, especially working with the guys, but I kind of like the idea of traveling and growing, and developing as a writer and as a filmmaker.

I love actors. Part of that is my theater background and being a writer who cares about performance. Actors have usually chosen their profession because they have a dream of doing it and they want to express something about the world. That's the same thing that I have with writing. Most of the good actors get into it for those reason, rather than for reasons of fame or fortune, or anything like that, and that's where I'm coming from, as a storyteller.

I never feel like a smug or a smart-alec film director, and there are plenty of those around.

I hope there's some kind of morality in all my work.

When I'm happiest writing is just not knowing where it goes and just let the characters bring you there.
