You And I Share The Same Dna.

I Do Have Some Theatrical Background. I've Written Plays And Seen Plays And Read Plays. But I Also Read Novels. One Thing I Don't Read Is Screenplays.

You Spend Most Of Your Time As A Director Trying To Move Forward With The Movie. It Happens On A Daily Basis, If Not More Than Once A Day, That You Are Struggling With Budgetary Constraints. Whereas When You're Writing, The Limitation That You Have Is Your Imagination. So It's Decidedly Non-pragmatic.

Directing Was A Big Learning Experience For Me Because I Had To Deal With Every Aspect Of Everything-all This Constant Decision-making, With People Asking You Questions At Every Moment, And You Have To Have Answers For Them All.

When You Approach Middle Age, Lots Of Stuff Happens. Your Body Is Aging, You're Watching People Around You Get Sick, You're Watching People Die, Your Mortality Becomes Very Present At That Point In Your Life.

I Like Actors - I Used To Be One.
