I Don't Really Send Text Messages. I Rarely Carry My Phone. I Occasionally Check Messages At The End Of The Night, But I Don't Carry It Around.

I Don't Need Any Crutches In Order To Concentrate. As A Child I Learned That You Must Be Ready Because I'd Be Yelled At More Than Other People And It Would Always Be My Fault. I Learned That To Be Professional Is Your Number-one Priority. The Art Comes Second. You Learn That, In Order To Give Your Best Performance, You Have To Be A Good Technician, Which Means Never Allowing Negative Influences Affect Your Performance.

What Surprised Me About Directing Is How Much I Loved It And How Happy I Am To Be On The Set. I Love Coming To Work In The Morning. What I Realized Is That I Never Loved Acting. I Don't Love Being In The Hair And Makeup Chair. I Don't [love] Being In Costume. To Me The Strangest Thing Is That I've Just Spent The Majority Of My Life In One Aspect Of This Business, And Because I Was Fortunate Enough To Become Successful I Never Questioned Whether I Felt At Home And Found Out Later In Life That I'm Much Happier Directing.
