Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.

I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.

I learned very quickly that the hard thing in life is to make good films. Technically, filmmaking is the camera and the actor telling the story and that's what I'm more interested in doing.

Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.

So I think I sometimes will put a cliche in and then just pad it out so you're not noticing.

I think music is what takes the experience off the screen into your soul, into your head.
