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

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

I didn't know you had to change diapers so often. I couldn't believe it - we must change them 10 times a day - each. So that's 20 diapers a piece a day.

As a film director I like to have the actors create their own close-ups. It's an older style of filmmaking.

As soon as the actor steps into the role, you probably can cut 50% of the lines because there's a person there now. And what a person does with their eyes, with their mouth, with their hands, the way they walk into a room, you can probably cut half the scene.

It's different if you're a painter. You can hidethe ones that don't work. You can't do that with movies. They tellthe story of who you are at the time, and that's the wonderful thingabout it.

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