The End Is Built Into The Beginning.

I Have A Personality That Tends To Be Somewhat Compulsive, And I Do Tend To Think In A Circular Way. I Dwell On The Same Things Over And Over And I Try To Figure Out Different Ways Of Looking At The Same Issue.

I Have A Background In Theater, So I Have Experience With Actors. I Like Actors - I Used To Be One.

There Are Nearly Thirteen Million People In The World. None Of Those People Is An Extra. They're All The Leads Of Their Own Stories. They Have To Be Given Their Due.

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.

I Don't Think I've Had A Lonely Moment In My Life.
