When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.

I've always been a guy that doesn't do well waiting for people to say, "You can act." It's always been a part of me.

My tone and my style are reflected in the movies I choose to make. I want to make big movies. My dream is to be Jon Favreau or Ben Affleck.

I think everyone is given drama, by virtue of the fact that we all have drama in our lives, but not everyone can make people laugh.

I always think that I'm the best thing in a lot of bad movies. Personally, I have to. I think that I like me as an actor.

So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.

My first love is acting, but the reality is that I just don't get too many opportunities to stretch, and grow, and inspire myself as an actor, certainly not in terms of where I make money. Yeah, I can go off and do a play, but the reality is as a profession, directing is exponentially more satisfying.
