I definitely enjoy getting to know people I find inspiring.

I just want to make whatever is exciting.

I am better at math than spelling.

I think, as you're growing up, your emotions are just as deep as they are when you're an adult. You're ability to feel lonely, longing, confused or angry are just as deep. We don't feel things more as we get older.

Don't differentiate between 'This is a job' and 'This is what I'm doing for fun.' It's all simultaneous.

I like hiring people based on a feeling - this person gets it - rather than what they've done in the past.

You have to be involved and relate to the characters in order to make a film that is true emotionally.
