The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a horror of being in confined spaces.
I'm inspired by almost everything I come across in life, and one way or another they find themselves sneaking into my stories.
Every doorway, every intersection has a story.
I used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house.
Doors opened for me because of who I am. But the downside is, there is way way too much expectation from me, much more than there would have been if I were from outside the film industry.
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
Stories are the only thing that I can be bothered with. It's the only way that I can do anything, even if I'm quite useless. It's the only area in being human where I could be a little useful.
I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story.
I can't help but trip out about how similar my life is to 'Room.' It's me wanting to stay in my own little bubble and remain anonymous and invisible and at the same time needing to step up to this hand that I've been given.
No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.
