I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.
I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.
It's a skill that people are born with. Either you're a focuser or you're a multitasky person. I am a full-focus person.
As an actor, I'm always playing solitary characters. But as a director, I'm always making ensemble movies, which focus on lots of people's lives and how they intertwine.
