Honestly, the most uncomfortable thing for me is my level of incompetence is uncomfortable.

I like the little chess match of how people move through space. I'm not comparing myself to Michelangelo with this analogy, but he said when he sculpts it's like finding the sculpture within. It feels that way when you are with actors, too. There's a natural way to do this with a natural language that flows and feels like real people talking. And you've just got to find it. So I enjoy that part of the process.

I'm definitely not afraid to be wrong.

I don't want to make a movie for 100,000 fans that nobody else in the world sees, because I don't think that's good for the character.

Attention is the intention to live without reservation in the here-and-now.

I think people moving through space and the way they say lines, it's a puzzle to be solved every time. But there's a right way to do it that feels natural. And it's just kind of finding that right thing.

Being an animator, and I've directed tons of mo-cap, which really is about how do characters move through space.
