There's great sadness and life doesn't work out like you would want, on a lot of levels, but there's no need to feel all alone. This happens to everybody, so there's no self-pity. This is the ride that humans are on, and all of it is essential for our natural part of it.

I'm into people's emotional lives and relationships and the complications of living. That's my turf.

Humans are vulnerable, messy little animals and that's normal. And all I want to do is make a space for that in my films.

People ask 'How does doing a film compare to doing an ad?' Well, when you're doing a commercial you don't have to sell tickets. You have a captured audience. Which is actually completely rare and great; it gives you a lot of freedom. When you make a film, you have to do advertisements for the film.

Film is endlessly just beyond your reach. I think that's what I love so much about it.

I'm not a craftsman of graphics or art or film. I'm more of an idea generator and manufacturer.

I guess I watch movies to make myself happier a lot.
