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 love insects. They are amazing.

I grew up in a working-class family, so I guess you could say I write from what I know.

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 hear filmmakers saying, 'I wanted to make to make a film about this issue, or this theme,' but I never start like that.

I deliberately never read about films before I see them.
