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.

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.

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?"

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.

Whenever I'm doing any film, there's always three different things. There's the script, which is really just a blueprint. And then, you shoot the movie and it's an entirely different experience than you would expect from reading the script. And then, there's the whole post process and the editing, and it becomes something else entirely.

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.'

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