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 definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.

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.

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

I like to write things to be personal, so I just put what I'm thinking about at the time.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

Making films is like making stuff together as kids.
