For Me, If I Had All The

If You Have Tapped Into Something That Is Real For You, Chances Are You Are Going To Tap Into Something That Is Real For Someone Else.

When You Do Improv, You're Everything. You're A Performer, Writer, And Director, Because You're Moving The Scene In The Direction You Want It To Go, You're Making It Up As You Go, And You're Acting It. You're All Of Those Things, So I Always Viewed Myself That Way. And With The Films I've Done, I've Written On Them, I've Acted In Some Of Them. And Even Ones I Haven't Acted In, I've Acted Them Out Just To Be Sure Another Actor Can Do Them.

I Act Once In Awhile If Something Comes Up That Seems Fun. I Like To Do It - Its A Lot Of Fun Because Theres No Responsibility. You Let Other People Have The Headaches. The Director Has All Of The Headaches.

I Was Already Interested In Directing When I Was Very Young. I Knew That Was Something I Was Going To Be Doing.

You Work With Every Actor Differently. It's Like If You're A Mother, If You Have Children, Some Children Need More Discipline. Other Children You Back Off Of A Little Bit And Let Them Be. It's The Same Way With Actors. Some Actors Need A Lot Of Hand Holding. Other Actors Like To Be Let Be And You Let Them Go. Some Actors Like To Be Nudged Just A Little Bit. Some Actors Don't Mind Line Readings.
