Monogamy, Monotony. There's Only A Couple Of

I Didn't Have Any Set Idea Of What Kind Of Filmmaker I Wanted To Be. I Knew I Wanted To Tell Stories That Meant Something To Me, But I Never Said I Was Going To Be The Weird, Avant-garde Guy.

I Do Find Myself At The Moment, Due To The Success Of School Of Rock, To Be On People's Radar A Little.

I Worked Offshore As An Oil Worker For A Couple Of Years.

I Have A Lot Of Films That I Haven't Gotten Made, And That Continues To Trouble Me. But Someday, Some Way Or Another, I Think I Will. It's All About Timing. There's A Moment When You're Hot And Studios Will Make Your Next Film, And Then There's A Moment When You're Really Cold, And They Couldn't Care Less What You Want To Do Next. That's When You Have To Recede And Make Lower-budgeted Films.

If We're All Going To Die, Shouldn't We Be Enjoying Ourselves Now?
