I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
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.
As a film director I like to have the actors create their own close-ups. It's an older style of filmmaking.
I write in the mornings. During my down time.
Like Joseph Mitchell, I would scour the streets of New York and find little pieces of what other people think of as junk - and collect it.
