I'd Like To Be Dakota

Casting Is A Long Process For Me. I Take A Lot Of Time.

I Was Raised With A Single Mom And We Had A Very Specific, Very Particular Relationship. She Worked With Me And My Job. I Was Almost Three And We Traveled Everywhere Together And She Was Really In My Life In A Really Profound Way. The Most Significant Relationship Of My Life. It Was Beautiful And Also An Incredible, Difficult Struggle. I Know How Creative That Life Is, And How Difficult It Is To Figure It Out.

All Of The Thinking And Planning That You Do To Get There, And Then, In One Minute, In One Second, It Just Doesn't Matter. It Goes Out The Window. You Either Got It Or You Didn't. There Is Something Kind Of Refreshing About That.

I Love European Movies And I Kind Of Grew Up On European Films.

As An Actor, I'm Always Playing Solitary Characters. But As A Director, I'm Always Making Ensemble Movies, Which Focus On Lots Of People's Lives And How They Intertwine.
