I never go overbudget on my movies.

I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.

I write in the mornings. During my down time.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.

Like Joseph Mitchell, I would scour the streets of New York and find little pieces of what other people think of as junk - and collect it.
