In this deeply nuanced portrait of an american family, bret anthony johnston fearlessly explores the truth behind a mythic happy ending. in remember me like this, johnston presents an incisive dismantling of an all-too-comforting fallacy: that in being found we are no longer lost.

Mama, mama, help me get home i'm out in the woods, i am out on my own. i found me a werewolf, a nasty old mutt it showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut. mama, mama, help me get home i'm out in the woods, i am out on my own. i was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreck it showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck. mama, mama, put me to bed i won't make it home, i'm already half-dead. i met an invalid, and fell for his art he showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart. -from "a child's walk home," nursery rhymes and folk tales

I'm very old-school. i like a director to direct me. i like to be the actor. i'm not particularly fond of the hybrid writer-director, or actor-director. writers, directors, actors are all such very different people. i think it's unusual that two of those people are in one human.

With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.

Most directors, i discovered, need to be convinced that the screenplay they're going to direct has something to do with them. and this is a tricky thing if you write screenplays where women have parts that are equal to or greater than the male part. and i thought, 'why am i out there looking for directors?'—because you look at a list of directors, it's all boys. it certainly was when i started as a screenwriter. so i thought, 'i'm just gonna become a director and that'll make it easier.'

I don't sound disloyal, but i've never had a pair of marvel pyjamas or underwear. i do have a lot of marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. every time they make a new marvel figure i put it in my cabinet.
