I always tried to make people laugh. I attribute that to – I come from a family of divorce. It was a way to distract myself from stuff. I always thought it was interesting that my brother and I existed in this really tight bond, and we would just take the piss out of pretty much everything. I knew I wanted to be an actor so it would be great if I could make people laugh while I was doing this, because I could be other characters and other people, and I could hide behind things. It was a great out for me, and a mode of expression.

I don’t really enjoy working in TV, to be completely honest, even though it’s incredibly lucrative, I’m just terrified of not being satiated in a myriad of different ways. It’s amazing that I get to create every day, as an actor, or a director, or a writer, and I get to do it in a variety of different genres and worlds and characterizations. I think that’s the great privilege of what we do, we get to make believe. I get to go to so many different places, try on different occupations, take on different points of view. That’s what’s always been sort of alluring.

I feel tremendously lucky that I am offered incredible jobs all the time to direct, but the problem that I have just personally is that there are only so many years in my life to dedicate to certain projects.
