It was being young and sensitive and an actor. There was a lot of pressure, everything was a hurdle.

Directing myself definitely made me a better actor. And, you know, I think actors have the best track record when they turn to directing. Writers, too. I knew how to direct actors because I've been there and I know what I like.

I think anytime you can do something you haven't seen or done in a film before, it's always a great day as an actor.

Fame is part of me and my life as an actor. I enjoy the creative aspects of my life as an actor. I enjoy directing and acting as well. But the bottom line for me is not prestige and power. It's about having an exciting, creative life.

I grew up with the white picket fence. My dad went to work nine to five, and he had a station wagon.
