As a director myself, you really appreciate collaborating with people who are trying to help you find what you need and what you want.

Sometimes in writing you have difficult periods and then other times it just flows.

In my films that I've directed, and my work in commercials and videos, I've rarely used handheld. It's just not something I'm drawn to, but I've seen it done very well.

I like things that are hand made - but personally for a man, I'm not interested in fashion that evolves with time. I like things to be the same. For a woman I think it's fantastic to have things that are different - it's like a flower where every season there's some new exotic bloom.

I grew up in San Francisco and moved to L.A. about 20 years ago, and now my main home is in Hollywood.

To make personal movies that you are the author of, is quite a difficult thing. It takes a lot of stamina.
