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

I write in the mornings. During my down time.

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

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.

The smaller films just take a longer period of time to build their fan base because people don't see them as soon as they come out in the theater. They see them, after a period of years.

I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.

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.
