I love to act. And between action and cuts, when you work for somebody great, it’s wonderful, and I still love it. The moment where you create, that instant is still magic to me.

I’m trying to look at many, many things in modern life that I believe are going faster, and I’m trying to look at why they’re going faster and what effect they have on us. We all know about FedEx and instant pudding, but it doesn’t mean we’ve looked at all the consequences of our desire for speed.
