The End Is Built Into

I'm Jewish, And My Family Is Jewish. I Was Very Interested In Woody Allen When I Was Growing Up, But I Don't Think Of Myself As A Jewish Writer. I'm More From Suburbia, American Suburbia. I'm More From The '70s Than I Am From Judaism.

There Are So Many People Who Are Making Movies Now Who Can’t Get Any Kind Of Distribution, So The Market Seems Like It’s Flooded.

I'm Moving - As A Person And As A Writer - Through Time. I'm A Different Age. I'm Thinking About Different Things. I Have Different Life Experiences. I'm Trying To Get Closer To Being Honest. And By Closer I Mean That At Different Ages I Have Different Ideas Of What The Truth Is, And At Any Point I'm Trying To Express That At That Moment In Time.

You Spend Most Of Your Time As A Director Trying To Move Forward With The Movie. It Happens On A Daily Basis, If Not More Than Once A Day, That You Are Struggling With Budgetary Constraints. Whereas When You're Writing, The Limitation That You Have Is Your Imagination. So It's Decidedly Non-pragmatic.

I Think Directing And Writing Are Very Different Jobs. Obviously, Directing Is A More Social And Managerial Job. The Other Thing About Directing Is That It's A Very, Very Pragmatic Job, And Writing Isn't.
