I Love Mixing Amateurs And Professionals.

But I Notice That There Is A Lack Of Darkness In My Movies And I Don't Know Where That Comes From.

My Key Interest In Choosing Scripts Is Character-driven Stories, Because There Are So Many Stories That Sacrifice Character For Plot.

I Can't Go Back And Label Myself As An Outcast Because I Was A Pretty Well-adjusted Kid, But I Can Certainly Relate To The Feeling Of Being An Outsider.

I Love Involving Actors At All Levels - And They Have To Know That I Want To Hear Their Contributions, With Dialogue, With Story Suggestions, With Script Changes, Whatever.

I Think I Avoid Stepping Into Sentimentality By Trying To Be As Truthful As Possible With Performances.
