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.

I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.

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.

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.

I was about to move out of my apartment because I was so broke. I'd sort of made a pact with myself that I wouldn't take a job unless it was interesting to me, and I became broke very fast.

From where I started to where I'm at right now I'm loaded in retrospect to the opportunities that I have. As far as money and the scheme of the world, I don't cash in. I do films because I'm sensitive and maybe stupid, and that I feel like I'm going to have fun on and feel like I'm going to have a good experience with. It's not about punching in and selling soap.
