You see these actor/director relationships in the celebrity world and you understand why. The director knows which buttons to push and it makes it so much more familiarized.

I started producing out of necessity. It's not that I want to become a full time producer, but it gives me control over my creative life.

I produce but I'm producing work that I can be in.

I can be out auditioning but a lot of times it's word of mouth more than anything - having worked on other projects with people who might see you and recommend for other projects and vice versa.

Like the whole DOGMA thing, screenings, bringing people together. I love when I hear that people I've brought together are working on projects.

I'm just like anyone else. I have ideals that I grasp onto but I try not to grasp on too tightly and to be open to other people's thoughts and opinions even if they're completely different than mine.
