We were always around my dad, so he wasn't absentee at all. I don't think it was normal, but it was exciting. You always had lots of creative people around, and my parents took us everywhere.

I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.

I like amateur things.

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.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

I wanted to make a love story without being nerdy.
