I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.

Really interesting things come because you don't know what the rules are, what you can and can't do.

I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.

I've certainly worked with really great directors who haven't acted.

Anything you write, even if you have to start over, is valuable. I let the story write itself through the characters.

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

I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.
