I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.

I've noticed that sometimes when you keep things a little smaller, it's easier to focus on the creative aspects of what you're doing.

You always have nerves. And it's important to respect your nerves and your doubts. And then you have to ultimately overcome them.

There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.

I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good. The main reason is not to make money, although at some points it's really difficult when you're broke.

I'm really, really blessed. Not only am I blessed to have found that I love making films, but I'm also insanely blessed to be able to do it. I have to remind myself that when I'm complaining.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
