As I have got older and become a father, there's less and less time for films.

I didn't have any desire I might have had 10 years ago to shoot every single word that I wrote.

You write who you are. But you also cheat, and youwrite what you want to be. It's embarrasing to be the guy who madethe movie, knowing you're not exactly who you want to be.

I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies.
