I Had Had A Huge Background In

I Worked With An Amazing Dialect Coach Named Jill Mccullough. We Did Skype Sessions While I Was Shooting "no Escape" In Thailand, Actually. So Three Times A Week I Would Have Long, Two-hour Sessions With Her Just Working On The Nuance Of The Accent, Which I Had Had A Huge Background In Because I Went To Drama School In England For Four Years.

I Am Lactose Intolerant, And I Always Thought It Was Really Funny How People Who Are Lactose Intolerant Continue To Eat Dairy, Because They Like It So Much. And I Find It Not Acceptable.

I'll Be Totally Honest In That I Feel Tremendously Lucky That I Am Offered Incredible Jobs All The Time To Direct, But The Problem That I Have Just Personally Is That There Are Only So Many Years In My Life To Dedicate To Certain Projects. When You're Directing Something That's Generally Two Years Of Your Life, You Have To Understand That. If I'm Going To Pour That Kind Of Love And Energy And Sweat And Heartache, All That Juju Into Something, I'm Going To Lean Into My Own Projects Before Someone Else's.

I Learned How To Direct By Being In The Trenches Of Movies. Getting To Be A Student From The Inside Looking Out, And If You're A Respectful Observer You Can Sponge Lots Of Information. That Was My Film School.

I've Learned From Every Director I've Worked With. Everybody's Style Is Very Different, And I Always Say That Being An Actor Is The Best Film School That I Could Ever Go To.
