I think sometimes you don't understand how to convey an idea, depending on the moment you're living in.

In my twenties, I thought it was getting a sitcom. Then I got a sitcom pilot in my early thirties, and realized I didn't want it. It was a rude awakening. When it wasn't picked up, I was crushed, but then in retrospect I've made two films and produced three one-man shows since then. It's the luckiest thing that happened in my life.

What I write is emotionally honest and truthful as the human experience can be, to make people feel less alone, or at least that's the hope.

I will say what I aspire to is a consistency in making films, to direct something every couple of years.
