When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

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.

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

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

My father is so in love with making movies, and he'sso charismatic about it, that it's hard to be around him withoutwanting to make movies.

More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.

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.
