I kind of make a film for myself to sort of express myself.

You gotta make the movie you want to make.

My goal is to make a movie that no one would sort of expect me to make.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

There are different sides to me; I wanted to make a personal film but I would not want to make any film that does not reflect me in it. At least, not right now. I'm just too young to be doing that.

I never wanted to make movies just for me. I want to make movies that people watch.

Making a film is like making a mixtape. You're collecting all this stuff and putting your favorite stuff into it: you have actors that you like, characters that you're interested in, moments you want to explore, themes you want to deal with, music that you want to put in. It's a pastiche of all these things that deal with how you see the world.

I don't really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesn't really matter to me at all.
