If I'm Going To See My Mom,

You Want To Take Yourself Seriously, And You Want To Make Something That You Hope Will Have Resonance With The Audience. You Want To Bring Your Perspective And What You Consider Your Talent To That Piece Of Work, And You Move Forward In That Direction. Sometimes That's Easy, And Sometimes It's Met With Resistance Because You're Dealing With Situations Where, For Everybody Else, It's A Piece Of Business.

Ocd, We Discovered Is A Lot Of Different Things-it's Not Just Washing Your Hands, It's Whatever You're Obsessed With. It Can Be Just The Way You Hold A Pen, And You Always Have To Have It A Certain Way Or You Have To Eat Your Food, It Depends. It's Something That, As A Character I Thought Was Really Interesting Because Sometimes It's Used In A Film Where It Is Ocd And Sometimes It's Strategic.

I'm A Product Of Older Filmmakers I Guess, The Past Where You Get To Make Movies And Scenes Are What They Are.

I Think People Go To The Movies To Be Entertained, To Have An Experience, To Disappear From Their Own Reality For A Couple Of Hours. If The Film Truly Succeeds In Everything The Filmmaker Sets Out For It To Be, Then It's Elevated To Art. It's Elevated To Something Special, Because It Gives People A Visceral Feeling Of Something They're Experiencing As A Collective Group. You Feel Something And That's What Turns It Into What You May Call Art.

It's Part Of The Film-making Business And Also Part Of The Creative Process - Putting All The Pieces Together To Make A Movie, So That They All Line Up. Sometimes It Looks Like You Have A Lot Of Projects Lined Up, But Some Of Them Are In Different Stages.
