Actors Spend A Great Deal Of Their

I Have To Concentrate On My Son. That's Why I Have Lovers Right Now And Not A Boyfriend. I Don't Want My Son To Start Calling Somebody Daddy Unless That Person's Gonna Stay.

I Learned A Lot From Clint [eastwood], Who's An Extremely Economic Director. I Learned A Lot From Michael Winterbottom, Who Really Gave A Lot Of Trust In The Actors And Allowed Them To Live In The Space Instead Of Trying To Manipulate And Make It Too Set And Too Staged. Working With [robert] De Niro Taught Me A Lot Of Being An Actors' Director And What That Is. I've Learned A Lot From Pretty Much Everybody. Hopefully I've Picked Up Something From Everybody I've Worked With.

What Surprised Me About Directing Is How Much I Loved It And How Happy I Am To Be On The Set. I Love Coming To Work In The Morning. What I Realized Is That I Never Loved Acting. I Don't Love Being In The Hair And Makeup Chair. I Don't [love] Being In Costume. To Me The Strangest Thing Is That I've Just Spent The Majority Of My Life In One Aspect Of This Business, And Because I Was Fortunate Enough To Become Successful I Never Questioned Whether I Felt At Home And Found Out Later In Life That I'm Much Happier Directing.
