I'm almost 40, so it's an awkward time in my career. You kind of hope it comes through and, if not, I'll be a waiter. Awesome.

I got into a bad jag of movies that helped pay the rent and I thought would help further me along.

I learned a lot, in terms of inspiring people. It became very clear to me, very early on, that directing a movie was a lot like being in a theater company.

I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.

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.

I like doing family films.
