As A Person, I'm Anti-violence.

Time Off From The News Is Always Something I Welcome.

My Film School Is Making Movies. But, I Do Think That Being An Actor Has Served Me Immensely, As Both A Writer And Director, In Terms Of Knowing What Is Playable And What Will Be Fun To Play, For Actors, And Also How To Communicate To Actors On Set, And Not Screw Them Up And Get Them In Their Head.

But, Yeah, I'm Really Happy When I'm Writing. When I'm Being Creative And When I Have Something That I Can Put Down. You Know, If You Go Out And You Overhear A Conversation Or You Have A Thought, You Have A Receptacle To Go Home And Say, 'oh, This Would Be Great In This Script.' Your Antenna's Out In A Different Way, And I Love That Time.

And As A Filmmaker, I'm Trying To Unhook Myself From This Idea That Unless You Have A Brilliant, Long, Enormously Lucrative Theatrical Run, That Your Movie Somehow Failed. And I Don't Believe That.

Cynicism Is Kind Of Like Folding Your Arms And Stepping Back And Commenting On Things, Like The Old Guys In 'the Muppets,' Just Throwing Out Comments All The Time, Whereas There Are Other People On The Ground Really Trying To Affect Things And Improve Their Lives And The Lives Of Other People. I Think It's Noble And I Think It's Cool.
