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 always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.

I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.

I wanted to make a love story without being nerdy.

Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

I never get myself in a situation where I don't have creative freedom.

I love that feeling of when it's touching and it makes you happy but there's a melancholy or bittersweet glaze to it.
