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

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.

My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

I never get myself in a situation where I don't have creative freedom.

Making films is like making stuff together as kids.

It's about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That's what I was thinking about.
