I hope I don't have to act in one of my own projects again.

When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.

I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.

I had a friend in high school who badly wanted to make movies and would recruit me as an actor. It was always so much fun. I decided, I'm going to go to Hollywood and make movies, which is a thought I'd never had before.

If the movies that I'm going to make anyway go mainstream, that would be the coolest thing ever. But I have set up a plan that I've been working on for a long time.

If I have an idea I want to put in a movie, I know what camera will make that look best, and I have ideas for future projects and stuff I'd like to build for those. I think it's just part of how I work, though.

It's a relationship I went through that collapsed my entire view of the world in a very extreme way.
