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

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 was always attracted to the past as a kid.

I'd read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell's stuff for a long time.

Every role is approached in exactly the same way, you have to make it believable and that's all. Acting is really serious, like, pretending really hard.

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

But usually I'll wake up and start writing about nine o'clock. I'll probably write for about three hours, and I'll do that over the next month and a half.
