I Try Not To Be Proud. I

I Just Want To Keep Making Movies That Hopefully Makes Some Kids Smile.

I Believe That Everybody Has The Right To Believe What They Want To Believe And To Knock Somebody's Faith And Religion Is Foolish, Whatever It May Be - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism.

I Hit The Ground Running, Without A Lot Of Training, So I Had To Do Whatever I Could Do To Survive As A Professional, And If That Meant Being That Character 24/7 And Acting Out, I Was Going To Do That. I Lived Those Characters, I Brought Them Home With Me.

I Don't Find The Same Things Funny That Many Other People Seem To Find Funny. I Don't Really Respond To Sex Jokes And Things Like That, And Some Of My Friends Look At Me And Go, "come On, Nic, That Was My Best Joke. Why Aren't You Laughing?" I Go, "i Really Don't Know Why I'm Not Laughing. I'm Sort Of Out Of Sync With It." So I'd Have To Find Something That Was Really About Weird Human Behavior For Me To Laugh.

That Was One Of The Reasons Why I Wanted To Tell The Story Of Colin Price. I Saw Someone In This Fictionalized Political Character That Was Trying To Do Something Important For His City. He Meant Well, But Then You See That The Human Flaws Had Really Derailed His Past. It Seems To Be Happening More And More In Our Country. I Wanted To Hold A Mirror Up To That.
