kids life
A story about my life should not be particularly interesting, but it is: it's just about me and some kids who didn't know how to talk to each other. It's personal but not autobiographical.
war
I have friends who have had PTSD, and you can get it from other things than war.
I don't ever take a break. I'm always writing.
bit hundred job movies nice painting trying weird
Movies are weird; it's like trying to make a painting with one hundred people. It's a weird world, but every job is weird; it's always a little bit hard, crazy and fun, a nice combination.
favorite guy love movies seen simply six terrible
One of my favorite movies that I've ever seen is '25th Hour.' I love it so much because it's simply about a guy who's going to jail for six years, and this slow, terrible day he has.
life
Life is tricky - you never know what's going to happen.
jobs manual ridiculous worked
When I had jobs, I was always doing manual jobs because I couldn't think. I worked at the docks, unloading trucks, and did ridiculous jobs.
night people littles
People who go to festivals to watch films are usually a little more eager to enjoy them. It's exciting, because it's like you're going to the film's opening night at every festival.
country jobs school
I spent a lot of time making music and touring around the country and living the weird life. I was just trying to keep a job and get by. So in a lot of ways, I went through a strange version of film school. So you live through a lot of things, and put them into your work.
acting actors way
I'm such a fan of actors, and also enjoy watching them work, so that I can help their acting in any way I can.
honesty want degrees
You want to be entertaining to some degree. But honesty is always entertaining to me.
actors film screenplays
To me, the screenplay only becomes the Bible of the film after the actors have been cast.
believe character people
I like to see people put themselves into films, which is part of the reason why I love Woody Allen films so much-I believe his actors' work. I have a feeling that many actors in his films are similar to their characters, and I like that.
school people actors
I know that some great actors can transform, and that's fine. But I come from the school of thought that people put a version of themselves in their films.
