Some days I'm in better control and can navigate my way through stuff, and other days, not so much.

I think one of the things I was most interested in finding out was how differently we approached our work. And my reality was that we didn't approach it very differently at all, which was funny.

I think just in general there's a bunch of films that mattered to me that didn't reach their potential, and on some level you have to assume responsibility for that. And I think over the years that gets difficult.

Romania is an interesting place because I think it has been abused, on so many different levels.

What I ended up doing was kind of crafting an idea for a story, presenting it to a writer - a dear friend of mine, Brad Mirman - and he ended up writing a beautiful script. I should've done that a lot earlier.

I couldn't see my father's films because they were restricted and we didn't have videos or DVDs back then.

I think the most attractive thing is a sense of humour. If someone can make you laugh, you've gotten a lot out of the way.
