The Important Thing Is Not To Be

Knowing About Comedy Has Helped Me With The Drama. To See People Laugh, It's Like There Are Moments Of Catharsis In The Middle Of Sadness.

I Think I'm Good With Actors. I Like Directing Actors. I Also Like To Show Up And Just Do An Acting Gig. Where I'm Just A Hired Gun, I Don't Have To Have An Opinion On Anything.i Never Got Involved In All This Stuff Because I Wanted To Control Stuff; I Got Involved In Writing And Producing Because I Wasn't Getting Interesting Acting Gigs. In A Way I'm Grateful That I Didn't Get Interesting Roles, Because It Made Me Pull My Finger Out And Do Some Work.

I Don't Think I'm Kind Of Universally Known. I Think In The Indie World I'm Probably Better Known Than In Some Mainstream Hollywood Terms.

I Am Of The Very Last Generation Who Didn't Have Computers At School. As We Grow Old We'll Become Something Of An Aberration.

I Like Comedy, But I Like Comedy As A Device In Drama. It's More Interesting For Me To Use Comedy To Seduce People Into Thinking About Something Serious. If You Want To Hit A Beat In A Drama, You Can Distract People With A Little Comedy, And You Can Punch Them In The Gut With Some Emotion.
