I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.

I like to work with the same people when I can, and you want to get people with the same interests that you have, and the same aesthetic.

Music is, for me, a great tool of a filmmaker, the same way cinematography, the acting, editing, post-production, the costumes are. You know, to help you tell a story.

My cousin Malcolm Lee is also a filmmaker.

A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

Most human beings will not stand in front of a stage and tell you about the bad things they did.
