Working in South Africa and the people in Johannesburg get under your skin. It stays with you. It's a place I want to take my children back to. It's a place that filled me with great joy and inspiration but also sadness. I think it's one of the most complex places on the planet.

I've made 30-plus films over 20 years. And in my opinion, five of them are good.

I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds.

My first film goes into production in October. It's called White Boy Shuffle and it's based on a novel about a young black kid and it's sort of reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye.

There are a lot of good stories out there, but I haven't found too many great scripts.

Where you raise your children isn't as important as how you raise your children.

I've written something and I would like to have my first film directed by the time I'm 30.
