That's what you want art to do, to open people up and start conversations.

My intention is to do more films.

I love that you can watch a film and 10 years later still be affected.

I think L.A. is beautiful.

My mother's a pretty warm, open person.

I would come to L.A. for a job, but I love New York.

You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you, and you don't want them to look at you in a negative light. So you do things to make them proud and accept you.
