I think, ultimately, looking back now, acting wasn't satisfying me 100%.

I was born and raised in North Little Rock, Arkansas. I was 15 when I got my first job serving food to the residents in a retirement home - 22 years later I would shoot my first film in one.

I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.

It's not like you can wake up and realize, 'Oh, I want intimacy,' and then it happens that day.

My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.

My relationship with my father is pretty non-existent.

These big-package releases. There should be a cute name for them.
