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

I think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.

I like amateur things.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.

I never studied directing and I never really thought about doing it, and then I just found myself in that situation and tried it. I like to be observing everything else, and I get self-conscious in front of the camera.

I like doing personal films, after doing a bigger movie, I enjoy doing smaller, intimate films.

Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.
