I Like To Act. I Work For

I Remember Being Out Here At The Sunset Marquis, And Whoever Knocked On The Door, I Would Take That Picture That I Was Writing And I Would Put That In The Typewriter, So When I Had The Meeting, They Would Say: 'oh, You're Working On It Right Now?'

I Don't Write [screenplay Character] Biographies Beforehand. I Usually Go In Knowing Some Sequences: This Is Where I Want To Start, This Is Where I Want To End.

I've Always Felt Like I Was On The Margins. Once Upon A Time That's What Independent Used To Mean.

I Never Actually Do Rehearsals. That's One Of The Reasons That I Write Those Bios And If I Can Meet With The Actors I'll Meet Them Or Talk To Them On The Phone. What I Want Is For Them To Come On Set Knowing Their Lines And Knowing Who The Character Is.

Well, Acting Is Cheap; I Knew All These Actors Who Weren't In The Screen Actors Guild Yet, And It Happened That They Were All Just About Thirty Years Old.
