I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.

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.

I really wanted to emphasize the idea of the women being isolated and abandoned . . . and they weren't raised to take care of themselves, so they had to learn to survive.

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

I like doing personal films, after doing a bigger movie, I enjoy doing smaller, intimate films.
