When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.

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

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

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

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

I think being mediocre and in the middle would be the worst. It's more interesting to get strong reactions, and to have the mixture of people who get it and the people who don't get it. And to invite a dialogue.
