I Become Kind Of Obsessive About Research.

When I Read The Book [the Adderall Diaries] I Loved It, And I Maybe Had An Inkling That There Was A Lot Of Good Material In There. I Didn't Quite Know At The Time How To Adapt It Into A Film, But I Hoped I Would Figure It Out One Day.

Most Of The Books That I've Adapted I'm Doing Because I Love The Book And I Feel Like It's A Great Work Of Art In Itself, And When It's A Great Book I Feel As A Director Or A Writer That I Have A Responsibility To Rise To The Level Of The Original. It Makes Me Try To Reach Higher.

You Are Successful If You Are Able To Work On The Kind Of Material That You Want To - If Your Life Conforms To Your Dreams, Regardless Of Outside Acceptance Or Acclaim.

It's Hard When You're Doing A Film Based On A True Story To Really Figure Out What All Those Relationships Were.

I Feel There Are So Many Things In This World That Have Been And Are Being Created That I Could Spend The Rest Of My Life Thinking About, And I Couldn't Cover All The Things I'm Interested In. That To Me Is What Makes Life Sweet-learning And Exploring.
