I was really jonesing to kind of move into that area. And they gave me a shot on Little Big Planet Vita, you know, so I ended up doing all of the script and the character stuff for that. And it's just been that way ever since, really, just trying to get better at what I do. And I think that as far as what a director does, it's kind of the same as what I've always done.

it's on me you know so I've got that extra bit of kind of mandate to decide how we do things narratively and how we tell a story how we end all that sort of stuff so it's really mainly just about more responsibility and making those final calls which you know particularly when you meet people like you John who is kind of like super excited about it I'm just feeling that oh I'm not that excited now like oh god what if it's rubbish
