That Red Carpet Has To Be Felt

I'm Drawn To A Lot Of First-time Directors. One Of The Great Common Denominators In These Small Independent Films Is That There's A Person, Or Two People, Who Have An Absolutely Monomaniacal Passion To Get These Films Made. That's What Makes Them Happen. Sometimes, It Takes Years And Years To Finally Get It Done, But By Never Backing Down, By Never Giving Up, They Get These Films To The Screen By Hook Or By Crook.

The Roughest Part Is Showing Up. Once You Throw Yourself Into The Scene, It's Just Great Fun To Let It All Go And Not Be Self-conscious, And Stop Questioning Whether You're Sufficient.

One Of The Things I Did Early On In Film Was Over-enunciate And Talk Too Loud.

That's Pretty Much What Every Scene Is About, Getting People To See Your Point Of View. Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Lose.

I Think Theater Is Powerful. The Best Experiences I Had In The Theater Are More Powerful Than The Best Experiences I Had In Movies.
