I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation. I like to just go out and do it. Of course, that doesn't mean actors are free to do whatever they like, they're always being directed.

You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.

I did the drawing and writing - for five years. I made a lot of short films the whole while and I made a promise to myself in front of the mirror that I would stop drawing when I signed my first contract for a feature film.

I see people growing more and more isolated in their lives. It's not like it's a new thing, but it's more preoccupying now as you can do so many things without leaving your home. You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.

I can zero in on subtle things because I'm holding the camera.

Sometimes it only takes three words, so long as they're the right words, to direct an actor in the right way.

What stirs my passion is making cinema, and that means doing different things, making different types of films.
