I got out of school in 2000, and I always wanted to be on 'This American Life,' since I first started telling stories. And that, I mean, that show is a little bit of a fortress. It's really hard to get stuff on that show.

I ski, I snowboard, I've started to get into skydiving a little bit. I'm a little bit of a thrill-seeker.

I want to do a little bit of everything and really just experience life.

Certainly there's got to be a little bit of reality show fatigue happening.

Directing a movie is a little bit like being back in student government and putting on the homecoming dance. You're like, 'You put up the streamers, and you hire the DJ, and you get the punch bowl.' Some people are just like, 'This dance sucks.' And you're like, 'No no, this dance is awesome!' You have to be really positive.

Change is always a little bit strange.
