film, because I feel like I’m really just
beginning to learn how to use all these
tools. It’s a real experience working in a big
studio system. It’s like learning how to

KW: The Columbus Short question: Are
you happy?
PR: I’m very happy with the work and the
spirit my crew brought to the movie. I
couldn’t be prouder of them.
KW: The Teri Emerson question: When
was the last time you had a good laugh?
PR: Today! I’ve been laughing a lot late-

and it’s been quite a roller coaster ride.
KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
PR: Playing the video game Halo 4.
KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson ques-
tion: What was the last book you read?
PR: What I’m reading a new book by
Robert Greene called “Mastery.”
KW: When you look in the mirror, what

KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is
your earliest childhood memory?
PR: My earliest childhood memory is
very abstract. I must have been about 3
years-old. It’s just me in the backyard look-
ing at a flower. I have another one from
when I was just a little bit older of my par-
ents taking me to see Snow White at a
drive-in theater.
