Sharing the same vision for what's on the page is always a good idea. The director's job is to establish what that is and make sure that everyone sticks to it when it comes down to actually executing it.

I'm interested in people that don't always do the right thing, its much more akin to what I know about life.

I don't like to stick to one formula. That gets boring. I get bored, so I want to try different ways of getting inside something.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

Television is kind of restrictive in its directing, but it would be nice to get some chops doing TV.

When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?

I do know that people tend to do their best work when they're challenged and stimulated by their peers.
