Nobody Goes To A Movie And Watches

I Recognize That Hollywood Is Not About Seniority. Often It's Not Even A Meritocracy. It's About What You Did Yesterday. You Have A Couple Of Misses, And Suddenly It's Impossible To Find A Hit. So The Swings Are Gigantic. But I've Always Understood It As Such, And Navigated It As Such.

If You Want To Be Able To Use The Powers Of Flash And Wonder Woman And Cyborg, You Have To Have Bad Guys Who Are Up To Snuff And Give Them What They Can Really Kind Of Get Their Cars Out On The Track And Open Up The Accelerator A Little Bit.

To Answer The Question, Though: I Didn't Always Want To Direct. I Just Liked The Idea Of It. If A Friend Was Making A Short And Needed Someone Who Knew Screen Direction, I Would Jump In. It Would Be Horrible, But It Led To A Short, Then Another, And Another. It Was Like Student Films.

I Like Roundtables Because You Can Talk More Directly To People. And You Also Can Get Kind Of A Vibe On What A Journalist's Take Is On Something, And Have A Conversation With Them More.

People Think You Have This Exciting And Romantic Life, Because You Project This Exciting, Romantic Life On Screen. But In Reality You're Just Doing The Same Thing As Everyone Else - You Know, Sitting Around Watching Tv With Your Gut Hanging Out, Playing With Your Kid, Or Even Sitting On The Toilet. You Know What's Weird? Even I'm Not That Interested In My Personal Life Any More.
