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 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.

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 think anything you do that's different, that doesn't take the typical approach, invites differing opinions.

Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.

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

I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.
