Sundance felt like a natural fit. I love coming here, and I do think that this festival suits my films rather than most of the festivals I've been to. I'm not going to Cannes, you know.

I constantly remind myself that there are terrible movies out there. I try to watch them, some of them, to give myself an understanding of what not to do.

I never wanted to be a filmmaker. I still, sometimes, think I got sidetracked by this, like this is a tangent. My main thing was painting; I was just going to do that.

I don't have any room in my heart for that character [Kevin McCallister ]. I like the actor [Macaulay Culkin], but the character, no.

I like to find comedy or something interesting to look at with whatever I'm working on.

A feature film is an expansion of budget, stress, story, hours, time, workload, everything.

I've become more like water, I'm more relaxed and I'll say, "Okay, let's just completely change it and do it that way."
