I was never nervous directing. Not once. I’m more nervous acting. I’m far more nervous on set, before I say my lines, than I ever have been, as a director.
I live a very international life, but when I come back to Hollywood, a town I love in a lot of ways, I have to wonder, “What decade are you in? Like, seriously, what decade? It’s not this one.”
The people that are the invisible ones, the marginalized, the quote-unquote weirdos, the people that get things thrown at them, the people that get harassed every day just for existing . . . I just still strongly align with them.
If one person starts crying, I’ll cry. If one person has no money, I’ll give them mine. If I had a bicycle growing up, I always felt incredibly guilty when I see someone sitting at the bus stop.
