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

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

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.

I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and joke around with your kids. That's what I do a lot.

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.

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.
