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

Do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?

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

Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.

My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig.

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

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