The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.

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.

I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.

And I love doing my own projects; that's what I've always wanted to do.

I hate movies that take a long time to shoot or directors that labor over every shot or do excessive amounts of coverage and excessive takes and don't keep things moving or constantly cutting.

So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.

Every character, no matter who you play, at times is pretending to be somebody else. People have a public face and a private face.
