But it's also another myth to think that you should be as tight as a drum and not have any frailties or fragilities.

Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.

All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.

I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.

Also CSPAN is really the great treasure of the media as far as getting information.

It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.

You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
