The Trick Is To Combine Your Waking

Whatever Story You Want To Tell, Tell It At The Right Size.

I Think Casting Is Really Important. Finding The Right Sensibility For The Right Part Is An Art In Itself. If You're Off There, You Make It Harder On Yourself As A Director. And It's Fun To Work That Out With The Actors. I Don't Think There's Any Magic To Directing Actors. It's Very Instinctual. Working With Actors Is Really One Of My Favorite Creative Moments Of The Whole Process, And The Most Fun, Because It's Collaborative. I Spend A Lot Of Time Rehearsing. I'm Very Rehearsal-oriented, Probably Because I Have Some Background In Theater. I Like Knowing What Will Work Beforehand.

I'm Lucky That I Get To Jump Around, Do A Big-budget Comedy And Then A Smaller Film. I Don't Even Make A Big Distinction Between Them. No One Believes This, But It's The Same. I'm The Same Person, Trying To Make It Work. I Just Love Being On A Movie Set. I Like Making Movies.

As A Teenager, I Wanted To Write Novels. By College, It Was Theater, Plays, And Then, Shortly, It Was Film.

It Has To Be Very Tight To Seem Loose.
