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.

I think it's very dangerous for an actor to take [shooting] too seriously because I think it could really damage you if you do that.

If a religious person says "No, no, no" and they won't listen to science, it makes me think that they don't have faith in their own religion.

Right now is a very interesting time because of the digital cameras, and the fact that you can edit anywhere. It's a great time to be a filmmaker, is a great time to be starting off.

I remember when I was a kid looking at different types of film and really examining the grains of them. I remember even looking at the ink streaks.

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.
