I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's the thing they don't teach you in film school - what happens after you finish your movie.
I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years, and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that.
I have no schooling in any normal sense but have learned from the best as far as just doing things. I learned filmmaking from loving movies and then just saying, 'OK, let's do it.'
I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.
My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.
I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.
I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that. I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.
I'm not a film-school guy. I was a high-school dropout. I was on a nuclear submarine. I was an electrician. I was a house painter.
My education was an education by movies.
I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.
