The Trap For An Actor Is That

Sometimes I Get Insecure About Being A Real Director Because I Look At The Great Directors, And They Have Such Command. But Maybe That Keeps Me Critical Of Myself. Maybe It Keeps Me Moving Forward.

My Mother Went To Radcliffe, And Rather Than Just Trying To Get Rich, She Wanted To Be A Teacher And Taught For Over 30 Years In The Public Schools. She's Definitely Got Some War Stories.

We Wanted To Show People What It Was Like In One Of Those Neighbourhoods That They Would Never Have Access To, In Bars That They Would Be Too Scared To Go Into, And A World That They Would Never Get To See. All Of That Is Something Really Unusual And Rare And Kind Of Fascinating. And The Only Way To Do That And To Make It Really Worthwhile Was That It Had To Be Authentic. We Dedicated A Lot Of Time And Energy To Making That Right And Real. So We Found Basically The Worst Locations That We Could.

I Don't Want To Jump Off The Roof Or Jump For Joy Depending On My Movie Reviews, Or Whether It Makes Money. I Think The Larger, More Meaningful Things Are Family And The People You Love.

As An Actor, You Can Steer A Scene In Another Direction By Playing It A Little Differently. And Honestly? I Like Being An Actor, And I Want To Keep Having A Career.
