As A Writer, Or As A Filmmaker,

I've Had To Deal, A Lot, With My Own Sense Of Intimidation At Meeting Famous People - Especially Actors, But Really Any Famous People.

I Think Now That I've Tried Directing, I'm Not Interested In Doing Adaptations Anymore. I Could Do An Adaptation Of Someone Else's Work That I Would Write, But The Idea Of Taking Someone Else's Material Entirely Doesn't Interest Me. One Of The Things That I Found Really Helpful, At Least In My Mind - And I've Never Discussed This With The Actors Or With The People I Work With - Is That Being A Neophyte In Directing, I Feel Like I Have A Kind Of Authority Simply Because I'm The Writer As Well.

We're All Subjective Beings And Trapped In Our Own Realities And Our Own Biographical Stories And Physical Bodies And Our Histories - And That's The Only Way We Can Experience The World.

I Don't Subscribe To Anything. I Sit There And I Try To Think About What Seems Honest To Me.

You And I Share The Same Dna. Is There Anything More Lonely Than That?
