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.

I moved with my mom to Los Angeles for her to pursue her acting career, and she got a job casting atmosphere in some independent films.

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

Making a movie is like getting married. You're like, "Am I going to marry this project? Am I ready for that kind of commitment?"

Compromise is the key element. The more constraints you have, the more compromise you have to have. But, I personally believe that, when that happens, you have to get more creative, and you end up with something that is even better.

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.'

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.
