My directing is really weird. Everything is based on whether it's working or not. I don't try to fix something if it's not working, I'll just change it.

I guess I probably see myself as a director. If I had to choose, I think that that's the aspect of the process that I'm most excited by.

[Having bigger budget] allowed me to be a full-time filmmaker for a couple months and not have to have a day job and be balancing a bunch of other stuff. It allowed me to bring in all these people from different parts of the country. It allows me to have an actual food budget, where we could eat healthy for the month we were shooting. It makes all the difference in the world.

There's something really nice about missing the person you're with. To have someone be apart enough to force independence and to also look forward to seeing that person.

In the 10 years that I've been a professional filmmaker, the film part of the film industry is really disappearing, right in front of our eyes.

My relationship with my wife is fraught with all of the problems that any couples face, but there is a sense of humor that we have about it and a real desire to want to make it better.

Just because you married doesn't mean you're not an individual person with your own wants and desires and needs.
