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.

There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.

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 feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

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.
