I think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.

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.

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'm always a sucker for a love story.

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.

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.

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