I Like That Best As I Am

I Really Think That Everybody Would Like To Be An Actor. Why Wouldn't They? It's Great Work If You Can Get It. The One Thing That Prevents Most People From Saying, 'i'm Just Gonna Go To Hollywood!' Is That It Seems Unrealistic.

But When I Felt Like I Had Something To Prove? Then I Got Up Early Every Morning And Worked All Day Long. I Didn't Know If I Had Any More Talent Than Anyone Else Directing, But I Knew I Could Work Hard At It, And So I Did.

My Movies Are Unadorned, They're Not Particularly Fancy, I Think They're Kind Of Workmanlike In Some Ways, Focusing On The Writing And The Acting.

To Answer The Question, Though: I Didn't Always Want To Direct. I Just Liked The Idea Of It. If A Friend Was Making A Short And Needed Someone Who Knew Screen Direction, I Would Jump In. It Would Be Horrible, But It Led To A Short, Then Another, And Another. It Was Like Student Films.
