If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.

When I was in high school, I was the guy directing plays after class. I started my first theater company at 19, and my second theater company at 21. I've always been a guy who doesn't do well with the passive nature of being an actor.

If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.

The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.

I've really enjoyed the independent film world. I've had a blast. But, the reality is that I really want to make bigger movies. If I could make movies that carry great characters and great performances and great pathos, and can have an explosion or two, that would be fine with me.

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

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.
