I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

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

Having a kid, it makes you slow down; when you're walking with a toddler to pick up a leaf it can take a half hour. You've never spent that time looking at a leaf before, having that kind of interaction. So I think it does make you change the way you look things.

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.

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.

I always like to keep the budget as small as possible just to have the most freedom.
