She Was Nice. Nice Is Good.

I Can Talk Endlessly About Characters, Or Why Someone Did This Or That, And What That Dynamic And Interaction Is. I Really Love It, And I Think That Actors Really Respond Positively To The Fact That I Like To Talk About That Stuff, Because I'm Not Sure That All Directors Do.

I'm Moving - As A Person And As A Writer - Through Time. I'm A Different Age. I'm Thinking About Different Things. I Have Different Life Experiences. I'm Trying To Get Closer To Being Honest. And By Closer I Mean That At Different Ages I Have Different Ideas Of What The Truth Is, And At Any Point I'm Trying To Express That At That Moment In Time.

I Hate A Movie That Will End By Telling You That The First Thing You Should Do Is Learn To Love Yourself. That Is So Insulting And Condescending, And So Meaningless. My Characters Don't Learn To Love Each Other Or Themselves.

I Think There Are Things That Aren't Represented In Movies That Are A Big Part Of Everyone's Life. We Romanticize Everything About People In Movies. One Of The Things I Don't Like In Movies Is That People Feel Alone With Their Bodily Functions In The Real World, As If People In The Movies Don't Do These Things.

I'm Not A Celebrity. I'm Intentionally And Defiantly Not A Celebrity. I Don't Have Any Interest In It. I Don't Have Any Talent For It. I Keep My Personal Life Out Of My Public Life As Cleanly As I Can.
