I'm the son of highly functioning parents who I'm incredibly lucky to have.
I don't even like football.

There's something about being cerebral, intellectual, and yet emotionally repressed [in being villain]. If you think someone's doing this [bad] stuff and they're in complete control, that's more scary than if they're out of control.
I decided to be a filmmaker when I was 12. I had utter clarity that this would be my life.
