I'm Really Not A Clothes

With 'taxi Driver,' I Had This Eureka Moment. I Realized That Acting Could Be Much More Than What I Had Been Doing. I Had To Build A Character That Wasn't Me.

I'd Like To Work More As A Director. It's Distracting Being An Actor, Because - There's A Lot Of Reasons. You Find Out You're Going To Work About Six Months Before You Start Shooting, And Then There's Prep And There's Post Afterward, And There's Stuff To Do, And Then Suddenly You've Gone A Year Without Directing. There's A Part Of Me That Has To Not Be Tempted By That In Order To Commit More To The Directing. Honestly, The Big Reason For Me To Act Is To Observe Other Directors And Learn From Them. That Seems To Be The Biggest Draw.

It's A Skill That People Are Born With. Either You're A Focuser Or You're A Multitasky Person. I Am A Full-focus Person.

I Don't Have A Burning Desire To Act Strangely Enough. I Don't Know That If I Hadn't Been An Actor As A Young Person, I Don't Know That I Ever Would Have Chosen This Because It's Not Really My Personality.

It Was A Weird Moment In My Life And A Weird Experience [doing A Theater]. It Made Me Think, "gee, I Don't Know If I Ever Want To Do This Again." And I Love Theater. I Love Going. I Love The Experience Of Theater. But I Am Not Sure It's For Me.
