Stop…stop, that’s the next generation of fans… How dare you pass judgment on those 12-year-old girls who like vampires! They need to be encouraged because in six years they’ll be 18-year-old girls who like vampires and are into all sorts of goth-permissive and whatnot. Don’t Poo-poo it. There’s a plan, and it’s working.

Whenever I'm not shooting, I'm in the editing room with my footage. While the crew is taking 15 minutes to an hour to set up the next shot, I'm behind the Avid, putting the flick together.

People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low.

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

I say what other people won't.

Keep your focus on what YOU want to do - not what anyone else wants or is doing. You lose time watching others succeed.

Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story, it just takes experience.
