I learned that from my dad: you put your heart into something, you have to protect it, what you're making.

I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.

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 try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.

I've always written my own scripts, I really like doing everything from the beginning and taking it all the way through, I've probably learned that from my dad.

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

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.
