There is truly no other business in the world like making movies. It's unique, it's extremely demanding and difficult, but it's also the most rewarding.

Every film is a new adventure, and I always meet new cast and crew members that blow my mind.

Get back up, shake the dust off and keep going. Keep going, because Hollywood is set up to make you fail.

I wrote several screenplays over the years to really polish my craft and learn from my mistakes.

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a wild imagination and always enjoyed reading and writing.

The original Star Wars ("A New Hope") has had the greatest impact on me of all the films I've ever watched. It's really what sparked something in me to want to make movies.

Most of the people I've been fortunate enough to work with all share the same passion for creativity, for ingenuity, for playing make-believe and really just having fun. It doesn't matter if we're blowing up cars, or shooting an emotional scene in a police station, deep inside we all know our imaginations are at work, and our imaginations are manifesting into reality - at least momentarily for the cameras to capture.
