I Don't Really Know How

I Think That Directing Is The Ultimate Martyred Task Of Filmmaking, That It Has Nobility To It. It Takes Three Years To Make A Film, For The Most Part. I Think It Requires The Attentiveness Of A Mother Hen. I Don't Know How People Raise Children And Direct Films. I'm Sorry, I Don't Know, How Can You Be Good At Both?

As An Actor, You Hope To Obtain This Mind Meld And Sometimes I Feel Like I'm Chasing A Horse Holding On To Its Tail And Getting Dragged, And Other Times I Feel Much More Velcroed Into The Saddle. And I'm Not The Knower Of Which Is Better Or Best As A Process, It's Just As Random As The Weather In Terms Of What My Subjective Experience Is.

Independent Films Have A Very Different Cachet Than Success Films.

What Happens Between Action And Cut For Me Is A Blur, I Go Almost Into A Whiteout, And Then I See The Film And I'm Like, "oh That's What I Did? Cool!"

I'm A Painter, That's Where I Started Out, At Four Years Old, That Was My First Love As Far As Expression. So, I'm Not A Painter In The Sense Of, "please Come See My Paintings" But, I Do Understand The Value Of Not Looking Over The Artist's Shoulder While The Work Is In Progress.
