Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.

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

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.

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

I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.

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