The thing about Chicago is that it really isn't like any other place. The architecture and the layout of the city are the best. I'm from the Midwest, and consider myself a Midwesterner. I feel most at home there. I love California. I have great friends in California. I just have always considered Illinois to be home.

I feel like as you get older, the roles you get change, and you don't always want to do the same tone over and over again.

Relationships are a two way street. Not a highway and a bike path.

To me, more importantly, I want to make films that I believe in, that I find value in that I think folks will like.

I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It's what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.

I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don't have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It's not about duck hunting; it's about the ability of the individual. It's the same reason we have freedom of speech.

Whenever you're scared of something, don't let that define you. We all feel it, but step up.
