“I feel like, if I'm being honest with myself, my biggest skill set is as a writer 'cause I can do that quickly and I'm really grounded in story structure. Part of my success as an actor, is that I know story well. Part of my success as a director, is how well I know story. Same thing, as a producer. It all begins and ends with me as a story creator. But, I love doing it all.” IfsKnowsFeelsWellsI CanEndsStoriesActorsCausesCan DoHonestDirectorsSkillsStructureCreatorProducersBeing HonestGrounded Author:Mark Duplass
