Im pretty aggressive, and maybe obnoxious, about trying to get work.

Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.

The best thing about switching from being an actor to being a director is that you dont have to shave or hold your stomach in anymore.

Holmes serves as an ideal model of how we can learn to see and think better.
