I'd like to be taken in charge of as an actor, not to be abandoned with asinine dialogue and meaningless actions or stereotyped characters. I'd like to feel like I'm in a character driven story.

When I write a film, I have already made the trailer

I'm sick of people imposing cultural references and influences on me, but I'm not sick of people talking about my age.

I'd like to do something meaningful in the smallest ways, not just words or idiotic writing.

Acting is everything to me and it's at the core of every decision. Whatever importance costumes, details, lights, camera, dialogue and everything else have, if the acting is bad, cheap, or overdone everything else is just gone.

I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this. But I have will to defend people - it can be all sorts of people.

As a director you want to have actors, not only surpassing themselves, but also going somewhere, going different places.
