In a relationship you have to open yourself up.
I didn't choose BYU, I like to think it chose me.
And I've got some screenplays and plays ready to dip into when I need to.
Without In The Company of Men, I could still be teaching, so who knows if this would've existed.
I was very careful to cast guys who were very good-looking and very fit and who had a certain sense of privilege about them, because with that sense of privilege comes contempt.
I felt, if I'm going to take on some of the most overdone material, which is men and women and affairs and betrayal of friends, I had better have a new take on it. I think my films come from a desperation not to be boring.
