I'm a control freak. Totally.

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

Big Night and The Impostors are both things that I wrote.

Whatever the best scripts are and you just want to play roles that you can really sink your teeth into. That's always the goal no matter if it's a good guy or a bad guy, or a comedy, or a drama. It doesn't matter, you just want something that's substantial you can sink your teeth into and that you haven't done before, something that's really going to challenge you.

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

If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.

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.
