An Actor Is Like An Instrument, Tune

I Can Be Tough On Actors, But I Also Let Them Know Early On In Our Relationship What I Expect From Them.

I Think My Family's Watched Me Over The Years In My Career, In My Pursuit Of My Career, And They've Seen The Challenges And The Struggles That Come With Being An Actor, With Being A Writer And A Director, And The Challenges Of Morphing My Career In From Just Being An Actor Into A Writer/director.

I Worked With Creative People Who Were Very Demanding Of Me, And They Helped Me Reach Performances That I Never Could Have Gotten On My Own Without Being Pushed And Having Trust In Them. And So I Know The Best Way To Get The Best Performance Of An Actor, And That's Not To Coddle Them Or To Baby Them. It's To Help Them; It's To Push Them.

I Love Horror. I Love 'the Shining,' 'friday The 13th,' 'halloween,' All Those Kinds Of Things. I Love Zombies, Especially '28 Days Later' And '28 Weeks Later,' Where The Zombies Are Going Faster Than The George Romero Ones. I Love Being Scared; There's Something That's Awesome About Your Heart Rate Going Up Like That.

I Always Had A Separate Life Than Just My Work. I Built My Own Family. I Have My Own Hobbies And Interests. I Have A Ranch With Livestock And Horses. I Didn't Always Get My Self-esteem And Identity From Acting. I Never Worked Unless I Wanted To. I Never Did Anything Just To Do It, Just For The Paycheck. I Always Did Things That I Liked.
