I truly believe in love, and I think that every relationship should start the way that our relationship started with our first love when we were 16, 17 or 18.

I remember reading Disturbia, one of the first scripts I ever got, and I go "Pfft, who wants to make a movie about a guy in a house?"

I'm a hopeless romantic, I say very loudly and proudly. I get a lot of stick for it.

When you have passion it changes your perspective on things, you want every tiny detail to be right. You want funny moments to be funny, sad moments to be sad. You wanna give your all.

I like movies that interest me and stories that interest me, I don't think about how much money it's gonna [cost] to make the movie, I don't think about any of that. I think about certain aspects like who's making the movie and who's gonna tell a story that I wanna be involved in, but I don't have that choice and I never have.

I think it's becoming rarer and rarer when I consider the experiences that I've had in my life between my dad and my brother and all the men in my life who have all been gentlemen and have looked after women.

People ask me, "Why do you love making films?" and I always say, "Because I love film." I hope that I can call myself a movie buff.
