It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I started acting.

Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

I never want to feel like the way that I see it isthe only way. Sometimes mistakes happen and that's better than whatyou thought the scene could be. You allow room for the possibilities.

They're not supposed to show prison films in prison. Especially ones that are about escaping.

I never had any master plan about directing, and I don't really write.

My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.

I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.
