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.

You're considered superficial and silly if you are interested in fashion....But I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.

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

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.

I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.

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