The reason I do small, independent movies is because I want to keep my soul intact and maintain some kind of integrity within this industry.

If you have created an image of yourself at 13 and it is still with you at 17, it needs to be dropped.

That's just a much more enjoyable and motivating experience for me, when I can see people who are just as obsessed with the idea as I am.

I think it was the sense that Turn is a spy thriller, and that's a genre that really fascinates me, in general.

I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it's real, and you're really there.

I look at my contemporaries, and we're all at different stages and levels, and all choosing different routes, different ways to do things.
