You Know When Somebody Really Knows What

I've Never Acted Before In A Movie I've Directed. This Felt Like The Time To Do It Just Because The " Leaves Of Grass" Movie Itself Is So Much Of A Platform For The Lead Actor. It's Really Written For An Exciting Performance And It Really Depends On The Audience Watching An Extraordinary Actor Having A Great Time Pulling Off This Feat. It Makes Sense To Me As A Director To Act In Support Of That.

I Knew Danny Devito And He Knew Me, So He Wanted Me To Try Death To Smoochy. I Loved That Stuff And Had A Great Time Doing It.

I Come From A Family Of Conservation Activists, And So I've Had A Strong Connection To Nature All My Life. My Father Has Been A Leader Within The Movement For Over Thirty Years And Has Taught Most Of What I Know About Environmental Conservation. While He Would Always Take Me Hiking, Camping, And Rafting, He Also Taught Me That The Spiritual Value Of The Outdoors Alone Is Not Enough To Save Nature Against Economic Interests.

To Me, Fight Club Was A Comedy. When [david] Fincher Sent Me The Book And I Read It, The First Thing I Asked Him Was, "this Is A Comedy, Right?" He Said, "yeah, That's The Whole Point," And I Said, "okay, I'm In." I Certainly Wasn't Imagining Myself As A Dramatic Actor When I Was Running Around In My Underwear In That Film.

As We Say In The Sewer, If You're Not Prepared To Go All The Way, Don't Put Your Boots On In The First Place.
