I Had Not Spent A Ton Of

I'm A Very Political Person, And I Make Political Choices In My Movies.

I Remember Watching Meryl Streep In, The River Wild. There's This Scene Where She's Has A Gun Pointed At Her, It's Absurd In A Lot Of Ways. Someone Pulls A Gun On Her I Think, I'm Not Really Fully Aware Of The Scene And She Just, She Starts, You See Her Terrified. And Then All Of A Sudden She Starts To Burst Out Laughing. She Starts Laughing. Like She Can't Stop Laughing. Because She's Terrified And She's Emotional And There Are No Rules To What You're Supposed To Feel. That To Me Is Like A Number One, That's The Thing I Have To Remind Myself All The Time.

Really, Contrary To Popular Belief, I Like To Have A Good Time And Not Take Myself Too Seriously.

I Grew Up On Movie Sets, So It Was Something I Just Found Familiar. When I Was Growing Up Also, In High School, I Would Audition For Things And My Parents Let Me Audition For Things - With The Thought That I Wouldn't Get Them. And Then I Would Get Them... Sometimes, And It Would Surprise Them.

I Get Off On The Interaction With People, And I Love The Chess Of A Movie And Particularly - Not Only In Preproduction Or In Production Or Postproduction - The Behavioral Chess. That Is, Learning And Being Humbled By And Also Teaching Certain People Certain Things. I Love That. As A Producer, You Have An Opportunity To See The Whole And Bring People Together.
