By The Time I Came To L.a.

We Might Be Too Proud To Admit It As Guys, But We Still Need To Learn How To Manage Responsibility, How To Face Our Challenges.

People Have Their Complexities. They Have Their Heroic Moments And Their Villainous Moments, Too.

There's A Very Real Possibility In This Industry Of Going Out And Leading Your Life And Then Going Home And Being A Voyeur Of Your Own Life. You Can Literally Go Watch Yourself - Where You Went Last Night, What You Did, What The Things That People Presuppose About You. It's Kind Of Crazy.

But If You Do, Then It's A High Class Problem To Have. And If You Do, You're The Architect Of That Problem. There's No One Else To Blame But Yourself. You've Kept Doing The Same Kinds Of Movies And That's What They Want To See.

If You Want A Film And They Don't Want You, Sometimes You Have To Go Fight For It. Sometimes That Ends Up Just Being A Meeting Really, Just Sitting Down With Them And Just Saying Here Is My Vision For It And Here Is Why I Really Love It. But For The Most Part, I Think Filmmakers Gravitate Towards People That Are Excited - As Excited As They Are About The Film And As Passionate About It. So Sometimes Going After It Isn't So Much A Function Of Auditioning As It Is Just Sitting Down With The Filmmaker.
