As A Person, I'm Anti-violence.

Everyone Has Expectations. You Just Don't Want To Have Them Dashed, So You're Quiet About Them.

I Think A Lot Of Civil War Stuff Is Written - As They Say, History Is Written By The Victors. And One Of The Things That I Think Is Fascinating About This From A Purely Dramatic Perspective Is Whether Someone Is Right Or Wrong, You Understand Where They're Coming From In This.

I Distinguish Sentiment From Sentimentality. Sentimentality Makes Your Skin Crawl. It's Like Too Much Sugar. But, Sentiment Is A Great Feeling.

I Learned To Choose My Battles. Sometimes I Let My Producer Deal With Something That I Didn't Want To Deal With.

My Film School Is Making Movies. But, I Do Think That Being An Actor Has Served Me Immensely, As Both A Writer And Director, In Terms Of Knowing What Is Playable And What Will Be Fun To Play, For Actors, And Also How To Communicate To Actors On Set, And Not Screw Them Up And Get Them In Their Head.
