When you love something, it never goes away.

My father is so jolly, and I live a really happy life. I think that's why all my interest in the darker things in films comes up: because I'm curious about things I don't live in.

I want to investigate what scares me and worries me.

I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa, a big Hitchcock fan.

For me, I was given a great gift by my father and my mother in that I was never told any idea was bad. I was told I could explore any thought as long as I wasn't hurting someone else.

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.

Trust yourself so that the mistakes you make are the ones you've made and not something you've made because you were afraid to do what you wanted to do. Own your mistakes, then you can own your successes.
