The worst question really comes from the attitude of the asker and it usually comes in the form of "What was your inspiration for the film?"

Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.

An interview is only as good as both parties are willing to give to the interview and that includes the interviewer.

I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.

Our brains will destroy ourselves if we don't put it outward.

I went to film school at UT Austin. I learned a lot and that school's good for puking up all your bad movies early and quick. But ultimately, no one can teach you to be an artist.

It's just that the nature of being a director is being incredibly overwhelmed with getting the shots right, dealing with the locations, and then there's a two-year-old in the scene, and all that stuff - you know, there's a lot of kids in scenes.
