I just love actors, and I've always loved actors. I empathize with their job. Everyone thinks it's easy, and it ain't. To be that vulnerable and brave on camera is tough.

I like to really respect the audience and let them come through on answers.

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.

You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.

It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.
