I was already interested in directing when I was very young. I knew that was something I was going to be doing.

The problem we have right now in Washington is we don't have the face of a leader.

I decided to not just be about protesting or speaking out against certain things, but actually trying to get things done. That has been tremendously fulfilling for me.

I love working with my dad, but I need to be independent and do my own stuff.

Usually, I have in mind what I want to do. I shoot pretty economically, so I'm not shooting tons of stuff that I could change, all that much. I'll cut something or add a little something back, but not too much. This is maybe the producer part of me, but I'm always worried about the budget, so I shoot what I know I need to shoot for the film.

Pretty much anything you laughed at in the second half of the 20th century can be traced back to Your Show Of Shows.

Something is wrong here, and it's more than easy access to guns or violence on TV. It's about lack of love and attachment to loving people early in life.
