Earlier on in my career I felt that I had to hide behind a lot of different masks, and showboat ways of performing. Now, that's a lie. The less I have to hide, the less I have to act.

You just have to go with a good story and a script that you like and people that you like to work with.

If I have things my way, over the next few years, I'm going to be doing a lot more directing and a lot less acting. That will be fun for a while.

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

Great directors turn in mediocre work and first-time directors turn in exceptional work. No matter how good a person can talk about what he wants, you never know.

I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

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