My Father Was A Very Contradictory Man.

The Most Evocative Thing To Me Is Probably When A Writer And A Group Of Performers Can Collectively Put Together Something Compelling That Asks The Really Simple Question: 'how Do We Live?'

Chicago My Favourite American City. I'm Very Much A Typical Midwesterner, And I Don't Think The Condition Is Curable.

I Like To Direct Movies, But I Don't Like To Goof Around For Eight Years Talking About It. And It's Pretty Irritating To Get A Movie On. So To Complicate It By Having More Irritation As A Director, I Don't Really Need It. And Because I Direct A Great Deal Still, But In The Theater, I Kind Of Get That Anyway. Which Is Not At All To Say I Would Never Do It Again, Or It Would Never Happen Again.
