I'm very eclectic in terms of what I like, what I read, what I watch, my own consumer behavior.

The choice that you really have is that you can go and work for TV which is so badly paid that you have to really churn them out which I think probably helps you develop certain muscles. I'm not sure though that you really want to have those muscles as a director.

I have a family. I'm married. I'm very, very happy. I wanted to make a movie for my wife and a movie that speaks to what it is to be in a long term, very, very committed relationship because at the heart that's really what it is.

I went through a pretty serious illness early in my life and I made a movie about that.

The screenplay is a great document because it makes you have many discussions prior to actually being on the floor.

I think it's never mono-causal why you fall in love with something that you want to do.

The day you step on the floor the meter is ticking and time is of the essence. You can't really afford to not know what you're doing. So I think the screenplay is a great tool to get everybody on the same page.
