"I just disappointed a would-be FB friend who wanted life advice. I don't give advice, I NEED advice. The only advice I can give is one small admonition: Don't go to film school, make a movie instead.

This is not dissimilar to the advice I got when I went to NBC for a job in the mail room: You don't want this job, you should just go out and direct. So I spent three years directing in summer stock. At the end of which, I went to ABC for a job in the mail room."
