I'm Trying To Make People Feel Welcome

Directing Is Monumentally Complicated And It's A Function Of All The Time You Pay To It. I Think It Would Be Great To Do A Movie I'm Not In, I Could Just Eat Fritos And Just Say, 'yeah, It's Good!' Some Day.

It's Much Nicer To Be Praised Than To Be Damned. But You Have To Have A Certain Sense Of Your Own Priorities And Ideas About What Works And What Doesn't Because Otherwise, If You're Just Looking For Eternal Validation All The Time, You Can Be Motivated By The Wrong Things And I Don't Think It's As Personally Satisfying In Your Own Work.

It Doesn't Matter How You Get Knocked Down In Life, Because That's Going To Happen. All That Matters Is That You Gotta Get Up.
