I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

I did a couple of plays in junior high school, maybe high school, and then I did a play in college.

I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.

I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.

Now apparently I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
