More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.

I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.

When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I went to art school and tried a bunch of different things, but I knew I wanted to do something in the visual arts. And I'd always been around my dad's film sets, so the interest was there. But I didn't have the guts to say, "I want to be a director," especially coming from that family.

There's something about being a teenager that's so sincere. Everything is more epic, like your first crush. I feel that it's not always portrayed very accurately.

When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
