I Can Never Watch Anything I've Been

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.

The Sad Thing About Working On A Movie Is That You Can Never See The Movie.

So When I Write Characters And Situations And Relationships, I Try To Sort Of Utilize What I Know About The World, Limited As It Is, And What I Hear From My Friends And See With My Relatives.

I Really Like When Critics Reveal Their Subjectivity And Their Humanity. I Prefer It When People Say Nice Things, But If They Say Not-nice Things Or Things That Are Critical, I'm Open To It And I Accept It. I Mean, I Have To Live With It. But I Do Think There's A Dishonesty In Not Acknowledging That You're A Person With An Opinion. I Think It's Almost Like A Power Grab.

The Only Honest And Generous Thing For Me To Do Is To Give People Myself. That's All I've Got As An Artist, So I Want To Do That In An Unflinching Way.
