Kindness Is Not About Instant

Well, I Stopped Drinking. That Was Actually A Big Deal. I Didn't Go Through Any Harrowing Rock-bottom Experience. I Just Made A Decision To Stop Drinking.

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.

When I Write A Film, There's A Particular Thing I Am Wrestling With And The Question Or Concern I'm Dealing With Has To Be Big Enough For Me To Dedicate A Year Or Two Of My Life. If The Question Isn't Big Enough, Or Rich Enough, I'll Lose Interest.

I Really Like To Travel When I Write. Something About Seeing New Things And Being In New Cultures And Environments Provokes New Thoughts In Your Head.

It Never Made Sense To Me That Someone Would Achieve Any Kind Of Success In Show Business, Only To Become A Jerk.
