I never had any film training. I went to Northwestern. I studied education and theater. So it was all theater training.

The best directing style is the one that lets me do whatever I want. Seriously though, I like to be challenged and I like to collaborate. I love finding the medium between what I think and what a director does. I hate when a director uses the "my way or the highway" approach. But it also sucks when they tell you everything you do is great and offer no input. It's a fine line a director has to walk. It is a hard job.

I'm compulsively on time. It drives me insane when people are late.

I think my strength is always been in being very natural. I think Shakespeare and things like that would be more a stretch for me.

I used to like the word of the day and when I read, highlight words that I didn't know and look them up.

There’s definitely times when you’re frustrated for whatever reason, but that happens on fifty million dollar movies when you have a huge trailer, so who cares?
