My movies are not about being, but becoming.

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 like amateur things.

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.

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.

You're considered superficial and silly if you are interested in fashion....But I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.

I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.
