The fact that I get to write and direct my own personal story is an amazing thing.

It's the most amazing thing to be able to forgive.

Fatherhood is the most amazing thing that could ever have happened in my life.

I'm not a rude boy; I'm my own thing.

But the first published thing I did was a detective story, detective novel, and I did that on my own.

When I hear that a project takes place out of town, the material better be terrific, and it has to come at the right time. My kids are getting older, so it's getting easier, but being a mother - it's a difficult thing to juggle.
