Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected. |
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason. |
It's so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we're wrong, and often we're dead wrong, we miss the truth. |
The next day I was in my school's production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn't recognized before. |
I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid. |
I'm not out there trying to get press for myself nor am I trying to convince anybody that I'm living any kind of a life. I'm actually trying to convince people: I don't want you to know what I'm living, because it's none of your business. |
I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman. |
I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me. |
Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller. |
