I loved cutting together simple commercials about margarine or soft drinks - all kinds of silly products - but I tried to make the commercials different.

In Finland, getting a university degree is the first thing that you expect your kids to do.

I did some film reviews for small papers in Finland and things like that to be able to keep living here.

Just live in the moment and not be afraid to try things out and make mistakes.

You just never give up, no matter how hard the challenges are, and observe this world with a healthy dose of criticism and don't just follow the herd like somebody else might do.

I was making films when I was about 12 years old - Super-8 films.

I became a real Shell Motor Oil expert, and I did this 25-minute film. It turned out really well and, as a result, they offered me more work and lots of commercials to direct.
