People aren't going to throw the kind of money at certain people that they used to.

I've seen a lot of friends who have a lot of great projects, whether it's a script or a play or whatever, and it is a great project and they have great people involved, and they can't make it.

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.

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

I was a breed of people who aren't capable of doing anything, really. At college I began to get the idea that being macho wasn't the accepted norm in the liberal world, and especially the world I entered into, which was the artistic world. I had a lot of problems with that because I was struggling with the need to be proud of being a man, which wasn't something I was feeling.

I got sober when I was 22 years old.
