I Take More Jobs When I Need

I Never Thought About Being A Writer As I Grew Up. A Writer Wasn't Something I Wanted To Be. An Outfielder Was Something To Be. Most Of What I Know About Style I Learned From Roberto Clemente.

I Figured Somebody Wrote A Story Who Had A Typewriter And I Thought That Movies Were Made By The Cowboys And That They Just Said, 'okay, You Fall Off The Horse This Time.

I Figured, 'when Is That Ever Going To Happen Again?'. So I Basically Set Out The Opposite Way Movies Are Made; I Set Out With A Budget First. I Said, 'what Can I Do Well For $40,000?'.

I Never Actually Do Rehearsals. That's One Of The Reasons That I Write Those Bios And If I Can Meet With The Actors I'll Meet Them Or Talk To Them On The Phone. What I Want Is For Them To Come On Set Knowing Their Lines And Knowing Who The Character Is.

I See Very Small Movies Being Financed By Crowdfunding. If You're A Well-known Actor Or Celebrity Of Some Sort, You Can Probably Raise Between One And Two Million. I Don't Have That Kind Of Cult [following].
