I went to college, I went pre-med, I thought I was going to be a doctor.

There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.

Everyone wants to be loved; everyone wants to know where they're going in life; everyone wants to have a sense of direction and feel the next day is going to be better than today. We just all deal with it in a different way.

Yeah, I was born in Montreal and I go back to Vancouver and Toronto a lot, so I have a sense of being Canadian, and I was raised by two Canadians, and my wife is Canadian, so yeah, I feel it.

I'm too big a fan of rhythm and editing. I'd much rather my editing be brave than my shooting.

Most people see a documentary about the meat industry and then they become a vegetarian for a week.

Really, it's the director's job to disappear and allow the movie to just feel.
