Quote

When I work, I disappear into work, which I like to do, and sometimes I don't really have a choice. It's not a conscious thing. It's just total devotion to what I'm doing.

The prospect of being able to work on a Kaufman film with him directing was just too good to be true.

[I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore ] really jumped off the page. And there were so many specific notes within the context of the script. Music cues, for instance.

Our bad memories and our bad experiences are what make us who we are and what make us grow and allow us to learn, if we choose to see the lessons in those experiences.
