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'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.

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 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.

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.
