I Make Movies About People In Spiritual Crisis Because It's A Way For Me To Spend The Time, The Energy, The Focus And The Obsession To Come To Terms With My Own Spiritual Crisis.

I'm An Atheist. But I Absolutely Love Religions And The Rituals. Even Though I Don't Believe In God. We Celebrate Pretty Much Every Religion In Our Family With The Kids. They Love It, And When They Say, 'are We Jewish?' Or 'are We Catholic?' I Say, 'well, I'm Not, But You Can Choose When You're 18. But Isn't This Fun That We Do Seders And The Advent Calendar?'

~i Used To Think, What If There's An Interesting Movie And It Conflicts With The Boys Going To A New School For The First Time?... Well, I Didn't Anticipate That Was Going To Be About A Two-second Dilemma. I Didn't Know The Choices Would Be So Easy To Make.~

By The First Week Of Shooting, You Know Exactly Where Your Film Is Heading Based On The Psychology Of Your Director.

Everybody Reads For Me. I Was Never Weird About That. I Never Minded Coming In And Reading. They Should Know If I'm The Right Person, And I Should Know If I Want To Do A Movie.
