I Don't Know Why People Think Child

I'd Prefer Not To Act In The Film I'm Directing. I Think, Though, As An Actor, You Do Learn How To Turn Things On And Off Quickly And Kind Of Compartmentalize. You Learn To Accommodate The Camera And The Other Actors, To Notice Where The Boom Is And Where You Mark Is, And Be Able To Repeat Something A Few Times.

Actors Become Actors Because They Loved Entertaining Their Family By Putting On The Lampshade And Dancing Around As A Kid, ... That's Not My Personality. For Me, The Fun Part Of Making Movies Is Seeing It As A Director Sees It. I Like The Architecture Of Movies. I Like Knowing What's Coming And Working To Set That Up.

It's A Tough Trick To Be Able To Create An Intelligent Movie That Has Socio-political Commentary, And Also Has The Emotional And Moving Stuff, At The Same Time.

I Didn't Grow Up Really Wanting To Be An Actor. I Don't Remember Ever Not Being An Actor.

I Had A Prodigious Life, Living In A Grown-up World When I Was A Child. But I Think My Abilities Were About Perceptiveness, And They Were About Examining Psychology And Examining People And Relationships.
