My father had a Super 8 camera when I was a kid and sometimes he would use it. I did some animation with it. I did a lot of flipbooks.

I was sort of lazy at school, but I realize I still have something to bring to the subject which is comforting. I feel I am not as stupid as I thought I was.

Every movie I do is challenging for me. There is some element of imaginative that you wouldn't have in a typical movie.

It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.

I want to explore new ideas and put myself in a place where I can finish a project that is more unusual or that doesn't seem doable.

When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream.

I hate cynicism. I wipe it from me. I don't like cynical people. I don't like cynical movies. Cynicism is very easy. You don't have to justify it. You don't have to fight for it.
