Man, my career is just stumbling blindly from one obstacle to another in a series of near disasters and close escapes. I don't know how I ended up with the career I ended up with. The goal was always to be a director. I think I have two or three scripts now that I feel like are ready to be shot. I'm hoping I'll be shooting sometime next year. You know what?

The honest truth is that I feel as though I've only recently really mastered the craft of writing. And I think that I only recently felt really comfortable that I know what I'm doing. That was just only a couple of years ago. And I think for the first 30... years of my career, I was still a student. I was still figuring things out.

I'd written a bunch of scripts, and it was a little bit like throwing darts at the dartboard, right? And when Little Miss Sunshine came out and was such a big success, it felt like I'd thrown a dart and it hit the bullseye. But I was like, wait a minute, how did I do that? How did that happen? Because I feel like I was not... I still didn't understand stories and how storytelling worked.

And I think that a lot of my career, I mean, this is what was so great about working at Pixar, was that I was still learning. I was still figuring out how stories work, watching WALL-E get made, watching UP get made, watching all that stuff get made, and then doing it myself.

And then making these videos, like the videos have been helpful to me just in sort of clarifying, articulating like the organic logic of a story. How do stories really work? And so the truth is, maybe everyone else is smarter than me and I'm just a dumb guy, but for me, it's really hard to write a good screenplay. Oh yeah, that's definitely it, right?

It's really hard to write a great screenplay that you really love. And I think that when I wrote Little Miss Sunshine, I wanted to direct it and that didn't happen. It took me a long, long time to write another two or three original screenplays that I love as much as I love That movie. And so I feel like I'm knock on wood. I'm ready to start directing those things now.

But I think that what's been guiding my career up until this point is kind of the sense of like, I'm still figuring this out because storytelling is so difficult and so mysterious and also powerful. Like I feel like movies have huge influence on your lives. Movies can change your life, right? I think it's an enormous responsibility also. And you don't want to be putting crap out there.
