inspires york
I seem to only write New York stories because it's the only thing that inspires or interests me.
dog needs and-love
Dogs just need you and love, that's all.
mom my-mom stepdads
My mom and my stepdad are both therapists.
commitment actors matter
As an actor on sets, Ive always clocked how hard the crew works, how much longer their days are, how much lesser their glory is - and the fact that their commitment to the work and project is unwavering, no matter the budget.
dollars facts hollywood
The saddest and strangest part of Hollywood to me is the fact that millions of dollars are spent on developing works that never get made. It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand it.
hard-work way strange
In some ways I'm oddly traditional, I've been a serial monogamist since I was 12. I've always tried to work hard and get good grades and be a good person, but I feel like I've also always had a strange defiance of authority or the status quo, I've never understood why things always have to be just one way.
equal-treatment credit want
I guess what I learned about myself is I'm a bit of a socialist; I want everyone on the set to get equal treatment and credit.
trying safe actors
The part that I felt most comfortable with going in was just working with actors and trying to make them feel comfortable and safe so they could find the performance. That part felt organic to me.
hard-work people excellence
People in theatre work harder than anyone in the world - as far as I'm concerned - as far as sheer output of energy and the rigor and excellence that they maintain doing something every day, or twice a day.
independent together schedules
With any independent film, it's all about getting everyone's schedules in line and everything together at the same time and just doing the best you can do when that happens - if it happens.
