I think I have between twenty and thirty commercials playing at present.

I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos.

I started to make some commercials, which was a way for me to finally make a living at last. But it was only really a couple of films in that it looked like a viable career option.

I love TV, don't get me wrong. But with film, you're just banging out this one product, and you're not waiting on another script. You have your script. It's great in that way. It's as close to theater as you can get.

My personal experience has been that in my 25 years of writing, I have not been asked to do more than four or five commercial one-shot scripts. These were performed on major national hook-ups but produced for me no immediate additional jobs or requests. One script for BBC was done around the world with an all-star cast.

I've been directing for 25 years almost, and I've only directed nine films in that time because I like to be careful.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.

TV directing is fine because you can come in and do a TV show in a relatively short period of time, and that can pay the bills.
