I already love acting and I love actors, so being able to communicate with actors and to bring performances out of them, and to tell a story and aid them, is really exciting for me.

The stories that I like to tell and the movies I like are always grounded in the emotional arc of the characters.

Skyline is an alien invasion film that really takes an interesting look at the genre. The writers did an amazing job of creating a new take at how life from other planets come and plan to invade Earth.

I'm not a trained chef, so I end up making stuff up. It either turns out brilliant or an absolute disaster. I just go for it.

I would really like to focus on directing features, and then eventually take that skill set back to television. On features, you have more control. On television, the producers are the creative forces behind it. Directors come and go on television.

The beauty of every experience you have is that hopefully you'll learn something from it.

I believe in my own abilities and my future enough that I will not take a job that could hurt the integrity of my long-term career.
