I'm really interested in having a studio one day and being a filmmaker.

I have three sisters and I've always wanted a brother, so I was really interested in that notion.

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

I only want to make movies I want to see. That may mean my career is somewhat limited, but that is my version of integrity. No matter how it performs or how it's received, I can be okay with it.

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.

But I'm not particularly comfortable around guns.

I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.
