And so, however many people watch this thing, that's how many different opinions there will be about it. But I don't feel like it has an agenda in terms of its ideology. It just presents a story like a mirror. It's a mirror more than it is than a distorted mirror.

As a person, I'm anti-violence.

In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.

I have great people surrounding me and helping me out. I'm totally in love with directing movies and I hope to do more of it.

My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what's the purpose of reading, and maybe that it's not that cool to hate something just because it's popular.

I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side. But if I don't enjoy something, I'll put it down.

And as a filmmaker, I'm trying to unhook myself from this idea that unless you have a brilliant, long, enormously lucrative theatrical run, that your movie somehow failed. And I don't believe that.
