Directing's the best part. Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like. And secondly, it means that you've gotten through all the writing stuff, and the producing stuff, and casting, and prep, and all those stages that are seemingly endless. So directing is sort of the reward for all the work you put in before. And then there's the editing, which is another amazing stage of the process. It's incredible the moments you can create.

I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.

I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.

I feel like in telling stories, there are the things the audience thinks are important, and then there are the things that are actually important.

I love recording music.
