Having a kid, it makes you slow down; when you're walking with a toddler to pick up a leaf it can take a half hour. You've never spent that time looking at a leaf before, having that kind of interaction. So I think it does make you change the way you look things.

It’s about misunderstandings between people and places, being disconnected and looking for moments of connection. There are so many moments in life when people don’t say what they mean, when they are just missing each other, waiting to run into each other in a hallway.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.

My father is so in love with making movies, and he'sso charismatic about it, that it's hard to be around him withoutwanting to make movies.

Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.
