You get a few minutes of this right at the start of this interview – fascinating to hear how a writer of humorous columns developed into a screenwriter and then a director – lots of say about career choices and experiences along the way.  It is 23 minutes long – but at least listen to the first 5 minutes.  If you are a writer, you may want to see all of it.
