I always get quite close to my script because I work quite hard on them.

When I was in New York I heard many people saying that the independent film industry was in big trouble. I was reflecting on this when I came home. Realizing that ever since I started filmmaking, people have being saying that. But somehow it keeps going. Filmmakers keep going. We need stories to make sense of the world and some people like me are driven to tell them. I have faith this will always be possible.

I'm sure most of us remember being a kid and you have all of this endless time where two weeks before Christmas feels like ten years. I used to go to bed to try and go to sleep to try and make it go faster.

I can't remember why or how I started writing, but I think it was always a way of making sense of the world.

A lot of people have something to say about 'Wuthering Heights,' but nobody quite nails it.

I don't feel very revengeful in life at all.

America is a huge country, of course. It's complicated. There's good, and there's not so good, and that's the same wherever you live.
