It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.

There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.

I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.

If I'm able to catch the screening, there's a point in the film where, like clockwork, a portion of the audience gets really emotional and begins to cry. And that's very difficult to make happen.

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

I was about to move out of my apartment because I was so broke. I'd sort of made a pact with myself that I wouldn't take a job unless it was interesting to me, and I became broke very fast.

I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .
