I guess what I like in my movies is where you see a character change by maybe two degrees as opposed to the traditional movie change of ninety degrees. I guess that always feels false to me in movies because that doesn't truly happen. Around me, at least in the life I live, I guess I don't see people change ninety or a hundred degrees. I see them change in very small increments. I think it's just a monitor I might have on myself as a writer to not make any false scenes.

I write from my stomach.

I don't think it's a director's job to peek behind the curtain too much.

I'll rebel against powers and principalities, all the time. Always, I will.

I'm completely aware of the fact that I'm a control freak.

Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.

I'm not really a Sundance baby, but they helped me so much I feel I have to acknowledge it.
