I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.
I don't think you can question your instinct; you should always trust it.
I read loads. There's quite a lot of stuff online.
As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
I personally love to see films not knowing very much about them. When you see it, it's like a flower opening up. I deliberately never read about films before I see them.
I don't want to think too much about me.
