I know that when I grew up I was pretty sheltered, and didn't come to understand much about the world until I was in my really late teens and early twenties, and that process continues.

The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.

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

My sisters are my favorite people on earth.

It's nice that people want to compliment you in some superficial way, but I've never considered that that's how I might be categorized. I guess it's better than being called ugly.

But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.

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