Whenever I'm doing any film, I'm always just happy to have a job and I always just put 110% of myself into it.

I believe that creativity comes from compromise. If you could have everything you ever wanted, it doesn't always work.

The bigger the budget, the more you can afford to compromise with Mother Nature. The smaller the budget, the more you're like, "Okay, well, we have to do this, but how can we afford to do it." That's when you have to get really creative on the business side, as far as making compromises.

Scheduling is always tough, no matter what the budget size is, and we had our own run-ins with that, on 'Fading of the Cries.'

For me, as an actor, the most challenging thing is creating the character in the beginning because you have to write their backstory. The easy part about doing a sequel is that you've done the film, so you already know their backstory.

I didn't really have the entire high school experience. I've been working since I was six years old, so I didn't go to the classic high school.

If I had 10 ideas and people said yes to all of them, half of them could be crap. But, if I've got 10 ideas and we really only have the budget for one of them, then we have to pick the best one that is our most creative element.
