I always viewed life as material for a movie.

I like to try to keep things as relaxed and easy as possible. I mean, movies generally attract a lot of people who like to cause fires, so they can later try to put them out. But I don't like that kind of thing.

I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.

I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball; I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league.

I grew up in the heat of '70s postmodern fiction and post-Godard films, and there was this idea that what mattered was the theory or meta in art.

I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.

There's something really vulnerable about playing something that you like for someone. You don't know what their reaction will be.
