Hollywood used to be run by artists and people who loved artists... people who wanted to make movies for all the right reasons. For the love. The Art. To tell stories. Yes to make money as well, but it was about both. Now I feel, it's mostly about bottom line and making money.

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.

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.

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.

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.
