As an actor, it's better to just be more loose and give yourself over. That's always fun. It's fun to just let go and be somebody else.

I feel like I know how to write plot.

I feel like so much of my life is about a conversation I'm having with myself. I do interact with other people, but often I'm more interested in what I'm learning in the relationship I have with myself.

As you get older, you realize just figuring out how to be nice to the people in your personal sphere is almost more challenging than trying to change the bigger culture.

I do idiosyncratic dramedies.

I'm not really a director or producer for hire. There's lots of big gigs out there, but I'm not looking to do that. Usually, when I'm directing or producing, I've written it myself. I'm not really trying to get on some big horse that's running through town. I just make my own stuff.

You want to work with people who you like and have an easy rapport with.
