I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

I actually did use to sell shoes.

After living in LA for 8 years, I sort of wanted a change, but there's not much production in New York, which is where I primarily live, so I just sort of drifted over to London.

I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos.

I'm not saying it isn't frustrating that my films haven't gotten a bigger release, but I'm really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won't.

Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.

The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
