I'm A Writer-director-actor, Which I've Always Kind

I Was The Little Guy Who Knew How To Tie A Necktie. It Came From Having Absentee Parents. They Were Tremendously Loving And Caring People Who, By Circumstance, Had To Go To Work.

I Always Think That The Writer Is Doing The Vast Majority Of The Director's Work, In A Sense. If You're A Writer Who Is Also Going To Direct, You're Doing All Your Preparation: You're Already Visualizing Everything, You're Imagining How The Lines Are Going To Be Read, You See The Blocking In Your Head, And You Know The Rhythm And The Pacing.

I Have Tons Of Rescuing Fantasies Based On The Movies I Saw When I Was Growing Up. I Wanted To Be Robin Hood And The Three Musketeers And The Scarlet Pimpernel.

When You're A Big Enough Part Of The Process That The Writers Guild Gives You A Lot Of Credit, That's A Good Thing. It Tells Me That I've Had A Significant Impact On The Film As A Writer.

Just Expressing Contempt For Your Leaders Doesn't Really Accomplish Anything.
