Casting Is Everything. Getting The Person That

I Had A Magic Kit. I Never Really Followed Through On It, But I Had My Phase Of Wanting To Do It, Sure.

There's A Certain Type Of Character That You Can't Help But Come In Contact With Growing Up And Living In Brooklyn And Long Island. A Certain Mixture Of Moxie, Heart, And A Wise Guy Sense Of Humor.

I Think Distribution Has Become A Lot Harder. With The Whole Explosion Of Digital Video, There's Just A Lot More People Making Films. Distributors Have A Lot More Choice. I Do Think There's An Audience Out There For Small Films. It's Obvious To Me What The Studios Do: They've Co-opted Independent Film. They All Have Their Independent Arm. They Can Afford To Crush The Competition.

I've Certainly Worked With Really Great Directors Who Haven't Acted.

I Never Want To Feel Like The Way That I See It Isthe Only Way. Sometimes Mistakes Happen And That's Better Than Whatyou Thought The Scene Could Be. You Allow Room For The Possibilities.
