It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see

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 bugs me when they have people my age [28] playing teenagers.

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.

When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.

When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.
