I went to New York City to Columbia University, and with the first directing exercise, I knew I was a director.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
I was a film-directing major at NYU. I'm still not sure why I became a directing major, when I was really an actor and a comedian, but there was something that drew me to doing that.
I didn't plan to be a director until I was 35. For years I wanted to do anything but!
I was a director and dialogue and acting coach.
In a weird way, when I was looking back, I didn't know I was going to be a director until I was.
I learned so much about being an actor by being a director. More than I ever thought I would.
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.
When I was in college, I had only one ambition that one day I would like to be a director.
When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.
I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.
