I View Filmmaking As A Director's Medium.

I Teach A Lot - I Teach At The Ucla And Usc Graduate Film Programs - And A Lot Of Those Projects Are My Students' Projects That I Act In Or I Do A Cameo.

When I Read The Book [the Adderall Diaries] I Loved It, And I Maybe Had An Inkling That There Was A Lot Of Good Material In There. I Didn't Quite Know At The Time How To Adapt It Into A Film, But I Hoped I Would Figure It Out One Day.

Reviews About Film Acting Are Very... Tricky, Because Movies Are Such A Collaborative Thing.

When I Was Younger, I Thought, 'ok, I'm Supposed To Do This Project Because It'll Help My Career,' But That Didn't Work Because I Ended Up Doing Movies That I Worked Really Hard On But I Didn't Really Like And They Didn't Turn Out Well, So It Was Like I Lost Double. Once I Just Started Working With People And Projects I Believed In, Everything Changed And I Suddenly Had A Career That I Loved And That I Was Proud Of.

You Don't Really Prepare For A Kissing Scene.
