I do feel like all the people I meet, all the people I'm in discussions with, if I'm working with somebody, I sense the same energy that everybody is suffering from the same predicament.

Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself.

In life, do you ever really know if you're missing an opportunity? No, you really don't.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
