I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.

Film is a collaborative process, absolutely, but I am a control freak.

My favorite films are the ones that I walk away from and I know I saw a story. I saw the core part of the plot. But if I ever take another look at it then I can see that there was some more stuff going on in there that I didn't realize.

I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all.

I don't read books on how to write screenplays just because I'm stubborn. So it's all sort of made up.

I never got into 'MacGyver,' but 'All the President's Men' and 'The Conversation' were big for me.
