I learned a lot about filmmaking from my dad. Starting when I was a child, I would listen to my dad as an actor, writer, director and producer talking about films - you know what the treatment would be in the opening, in the middle, and in the ending.

I always try and learn as much as I can from different departments on a film set.

I had a grandmother who would always encourage me to learn about theater and film.

Going to film school taught me how much I already knew, and that the best way to learn about film is being on the set with professionals.

I had a pretty steep learning curve in film - as I'm still learning.

I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.

I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.

Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.

I had to spend a few years learning how to do movies. I wasn't really good at that. I was a theatre actor first and foremost. So I took my time learning that.
