Acting
"I was very surprised that for a while I could only get cast as straight. It was that way for a few years."
Years
"I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don't know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York."
Character
"The first movie I had a featured role in was Parting Glances."
First
"I'm terrible at story and structure, but I'm not so bad at writing dialogue."
Writing
"I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin."
Martin
"All these directors, and I would include the Coen brothers and Quentin, have a very unique vision of what they want. They listen to ideas and make people feel like everyone is making the film."
People
"In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene."
Beginning
"Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors."
Actor
"Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece."
