When you find your voice, your life takes on grace.

I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.

See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?

My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them anyway!

You don't have your film finished when you have your director's cut finished. It's just a bunch of green screen.

This is the problem with being Indian. It's hard to be one of the family members. Everybody is white usually [in the movie].
