Going Back And Forth Between The Press

I'm A Technician. I Don't Go For The Get-into-the-role Stuff. I Read The Lines And Play The Scenes.

I Don't Really Think I Have The Personality. I Am Not Very External. I Don't Want To Dance On The Table And Do Impressions. So I Think That The Way I Approach It Is Really Loving Story. That's My First Love - The Words. The Words And The Story And How To Create Images. I Guess I Come At That As A Director. I Think That's Much More In My Personality To Be A Director, So That's Kind Of Informed My Acting.

I Like To Be In A Different Place When I Make A Movie So That I Can't Really Focus On Anything Else, And That Is Your World.

There Is Nothing In This World That I Am Prouder Of Than My Ability To Feel, To Survive And, Yes, To Be A Fool For What I Love And Believe In.

Acting, For Me, Is Exhausting. I'm Always More Energized By Directing. It's More Intense To Direct. I Can Pop In And Express Myself, Then Pop Out Again. It's A Huge Passion For Me.
