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

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

Ford Fairlane was one of those movies that was so much fun to make that it was bound not to be a big hit.

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

When I make decisions based on other circumstances, things don't necessarily go so well. So sometimes, even if something seems commercially tempting, I've learned that if it's not what's in your heart, it's probably not what you should do.

I feel like I learned very early on that your heroes are only as powerful as your villains. And I'm attracted to intelligent villains.

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