I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I'm big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day. ↗

You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it. ↗
