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

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

When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.

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

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

I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I went to art school and tried a bunch of different things, but I knew I wanted to do something in the visual arts. And I'd always been around my dad's film sets, so the interest was there. But I didn't have the guts to say, "I want to be a director," especially coming from that family.

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