People Want To Know If I Have

When I Think Of 'nightmare On Elm Street,' There Was A Warmth To Those Teenagers That I Related To. They Were Not Aware That They Were In The Middle Of A Horror Film, And I Really Loved Those Characters And I Empathized With Them.

'juno' Really Changed Things For Me And I Get A Lot Of Screenplays Come In Now, But I Like To Self-generate And I Like To Kind Of Pursue My Own Ideas. And I Think The More Personal The Better.

My Writing Voice Is Very Much Like 'thank You For Smoking.' It's A Guy's Voice. It's Very Masculine.

When Characters Change On Screen, It Makes You Feel Better About Yourself. You Think, 'oh I Change Too, I'm Constantly Becoming A Better Person.'

I Remember When I Was Like 19 Years Old And I Started A Desk Calendar Company To Pay For My First Short Film, Just So I Could Say One Day That My Daddy Didn't Pay For My First Short Film. And I Really Established Myself In The Film Festival World.
