I just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic. It wasn't so bad for me, but there's a woman I know who's still traumatized by junior high. At that age, everything seems like a huge deal, but of course that changes when you get older.

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've always written my own scripts, I really like doing everything from the beginning and taking it all the way through, I've probably learned that from my dad.

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.

Making films is like making stuff together as kids.

I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.

My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.
