I Love Watching All Sorts Of Different Types Of Movies, But That Doesn't Mean They're Necessarily Movies I Want To Be Making. I'm Not Sitting Around Saying, "man, I'd Really Love To Direct A Western." That's Just Not Something I'm Probably Going To Do. But, I'm Just Looking To Work On Things That Both Feel Professionally Exciting And Personally Relevant.

If I’m Feeling Something, I Have A Lot Of Different Ways To Express It, You Know? I Can Write An Article About It. I Can Write A Screenplay About It. I Can Act In Someone’s Thing.

And As A Filmmaker, I'm Trying To Unhook Myself From This Idea That Unless You Have A Brilliant, Long, Enormously Lucrative Theatrical Run, That Your Movie Somehow Failed. And I Don't Believe That.
