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

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.

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.

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.

I've worked with a lot great directors who have huge resumes, but I'm really trying to be active in my career in supporting the new generation of cinema. I like taking some time to try to support and be a part of that.

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.

Different films have different places in people's lives. I don't get to see a lot of films, so I want to watch films I learn from.
