I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.
One of the reasons I became a writer is that, unlike starting a band, directing movies, or acting in a theatrical production, you can do it alone. Your success and failure depend entirely on yourself.
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
One of the best things about directing movies, as opposed to merely writing them, is that there's no confusion about who's to blame: You are.
I have great people surrounding me and helping me out. I'm totally in love with directing movies and I hope to do more of it.
After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.
I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.
