I Do Find Myself At The Moment,

I Think Maybe Making Films Is Something Innate You Can't Really Teach To Begin With.

I Think Casting Is Really Important. Finding The Right Sensibility For The Right Part Is An Art In Itself. If You're Off There, You Make It Harder On Yourself As A Director. And It's Fun To Work That Out With The Actors. I Don't Think There's Any Magic To Directing Actors. It's Very Instinctual. Working With Actors Is Really One Of My Favorite Creative Moments Of The Whole Process, And The Most Fun, Because It's Collaborative. I Spend A Lot Of Time Rehearsing. I'm Very Rehearsal-oriented, Probably Because I Have Some Background In Theater. I Like Knowing What Will Work Beforehand.

I Do Find Myself At The Moment, Due To The Success Of School Of Rock, To Be On People's Radar A Little.

To Those Humans In Whom I Have Faith; I Wish Suffering, Being Forsaken, Sickness, Maltreatment, Humiliation. I Wish That They Should Not Remain Unfamiliar With Profound Self-contempt, The Torture Of Self-mistrust, And The Misery Of The Vanquished. I Have No Pity For Them Because I Wish Them The Only Thing That Can Prove Today Whether One Is Worth Anything Or Not—that One Endures' . . . Remember, The Passion For Destruction Is Also A Creative Passion.

I Worked Offshore As An Oil Worker For A Couple Of Years.
