Directing's The Best Part. Whenever I've Directed Something, There's This Feeling Of Demand And Focus That I Like. And Secondly, It Means That You've Gotten Through All The Writing Stuff, And The Producing Stuff, And Casting, And Prep, And All Those Stages That Are Seemingly Endless. So Directing Is Sort Of The Reward For All The Work You Put In Before. And Then There's The Editing, Which Is Another Amazing Stage Of The Process. It's Incredible The Moments You Can Create.

I Was More Of A Star Wars Kid, Actually. I Always Thought Star Trek Was A Lot Of Talk, And It Felt A Little Self-important. It Was Hard For Me To Get Into It.

We Went On The Opening Weekend [of Star Wars], A Group Of Us Went Out And Just Popped Into A Couple Theaters Just To See People In The Theater Watching The Movie, And It Was Incredibly Gratifying Just To See The Thing Out There Being Watched By People. And The Reaction Was More Than We Could've Expected.

It's Not Often That I Read About Actors That I'm Going To Be Meeting. I Get To Read Articles About Actors Who Were Going To Come In, So I Get To See Someone And Say, "oh, I Read That I Was Going To See You. It's Very Nice To See You."
