When I Decided To Direct, Never Having

One Of The First Things I Learned About Acting Was, The Only Person You Compete Against Is Yourself.

I'm An Actor Who Loves To Direct Film, If I Find Something That I'm Compelled To Do And Want To Spend Three Or Four Years Doing. I Really Love The Process, Though. I Might Have To Just Say, "yeah, I Want To Direct That," Because I Want To Direct Something, But That's Just Not The Way My Being Is. It's Got To Be A Necessity For Me, Otherwise I'll Just Keep Acting.

You Look At A Guy Like Lance Armstrong, And You Have To Be Inspired. I Sat Next To Kirk Douglas The Other Day, And He's Inspiring For Fighting Through His Stroke

There's Always A Reaction Based On Fear. People Assume If You're Criticizing A Decision To Go To War, Then You're Saying Something Against The Soldiers-which Is Not The Case

I Chose Films Made By People I Wanted To Work With, About Subject Matter I Thought Was Intriguing.
