Even Though I Occasionally Appear On It,

I Learned To Choose My Battles. Sometimes I Let My Producer Deal With Something That I Didn't Want To Deal With.

My Film School Is Making Movies. But, I Do Think That Being An Actor Has Served Me Immensely, As Both A Writer And Director, In Terms Of Knowing What Is Playable And What Will Be Fun To Play, For Actors, And Also How To Communicate To Actors On Set, And Not Screw Them Up And Get Them In Their Head.

I Know Not Everyone Starts Out Reading High Literature. If You Read Enough You Might Be Drawn To Some Other Things, So Maybe Those Vampire Books Are What They Call 'gateway Books.' I Just Coined That Term. I Don't Know If There's A Thing Called 'gateway Books.

Cynicism Is Kind Of Like Folding Your Arms And Stepping Back And Commenting On Things, Like The Old Guys In 'the Muppets,' Just Throwing Out Comments All The Time, Whereas There Are Other People On The Ground Really Trying To Affect Things And Improve Their Lives And The Lives Of Other People. I Think It's Noble And I Think It's Cool.
