Sometimes if the people are up for trying something that I'm interested in, it can be a great experience.

The movies I make tend not to be quite reality but the characters are inspired by real people and they're always very personal.

Working with kids is usually very fun. They get so into movie and they're up for anything. Usually they're having such an exciting experience, everybody feels that.

India is a place where one of the great pleasures for a foreigner is that you're constantly surprised. Everywhere you look is something that is either funny, or very moving, but there is always so much that is so unexpected.

A prototype is always more expensive than anything.

I don't really wanna think about themes. I wanna just think about the experience of the movie. I feel like, as soon as I reduce it to a theme, once I write that sentence, it won't be that great. I feel like there's more potential for it to mean something interesting if I'm not forcing it to mean something I've already decided.

I wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.
