The script is like music to me. I approach it like it's a musical piece and I hear how it's supposed to sound when people say the words. There's rhythms and there's intonations and things, and so, when somebody comes in and hits the notes that I hear, I go okay. Or, they come close enough, and then I'll say "Well how about you try it like this?" and if they have a good ear and they can pick it up, then I think okay, they've got it.

I like writing because you can make things happen and turn out the way they never do in real life.

Usually I don't like to act in movies that I direct because it's kind of confusing.

I was a kid who was really unhappy with being bussed. I was one of the angry people in the halls.

The idea of playing a part where I get to wear a completely undetectable hairpiece... you can't walk away from that.

I think there's great stuff on television. I'm hooked on all these shows. I love watching these shows.

If you have tapped into something that is real for you, chances are you are going to tap into something that is real for someone else.
