I feel like the need to want to create and make something is stronger than the difficulties are going through.

I don't want to repeat myself.

When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that's basically all you want to talk about.

If I was a little bit younger I would worry more. I'd want to do one thing at a time but now I try to do a bunch of different things at a time if I can.
want pretentious
No one wants to be pretentious about what they do or take it seriously, because that is just weird.

You have to have a personal connection. You have to really want to do it, because if you don't, investing yourself personally, your thoughts, your emotions, yourself into a part, is something you're not going to want to do as much.
haunting want projects
There's things that you don't want to do and they keep haunting you and following you. Bennett Miller directed this project [Capote], who is a friend of mine since I was 16, and Danny Futterman wrote it, and he's also been a friend of mine since I was 16.

I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.

I don't have a specific thing I want anyone to get out of anything I do.

The idea that you have a vision of what you're supposed to be, or going to be, or where your kids are going to be - and that that doesn't work out - is always going to be something that's going to affect people and move people.
bring commit knowing life might normal people
I do understand what it is to not want to commit to someone, knowing that might bring pain or commit to a life that has to do with being responsible to people other than myself. These things, I think, are normal things.

The size of my head though is pretty abnormal.
