It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself.

Well, you know, I never want to feel like I have a set plan of what I'm supposed to do. I kind of like to go script by script, and if I like the character and like the story that's why I want to do a movie.

I feel like if you feel good about a script, and you feel confident about your ability to direct and just capture it right, it's all just, really, really in your favor there.

I wish in my own mind I were more definite - that I was absolutely convinced I'd never direct someone else's script, but I keep reading scripts, because I might find something.

You'd go in, read the script once for timing and then you would sit around and play games. The sound effects people would come in and we would do a dress rehearsal so they could get the effects and the music cues in place. Then you would wait until you went on the air.

I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.

Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.

When you have a script, and you're discussing what it can be, and who going to play what role, that's a kind of like a fantasy football game. You can imagine these different dream teams interpreting these characters that only exist in your head.

I don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.
