Look before you leap. And if you want to follow in my footsteps, make sure you step in the ones that went in the right direction.

I'd say that directing is in my heart. And that's where my focus is, like a laser beam. That's what I've been studying for a long time, and I think that everything that I've done before has contributed to the development of my craft as a director.

That's the beauty of love. Sometimes you don't have to say nothing.
