I love this profession, but God, it can just destroy people, and I don't want that to happen and become some monster.
There's a tremendous intellectual fervor among independent filmmakers, and that has to be cultivated.
The last few years I've had to force myself to go out and be more involved the world because I can get a bit more cerebral and escape into characters and the world of characters. But now I guess I escape into stories about 'Wilfred.'
