I like to write things to be personal, so I just put what I'm thinking about at the time.

Ever since I was little, I've felt very comfortable on a set. The time is stressful - being creative under time constraints. But there is an excitement and energy that you only have a certain amount of time to get what you want.

I've always written my own scripts, I really like doing everything from the beginning and taking it all the way through, I've probably learned that from my dad.

When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.

I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.

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.

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.
