When I was young, I loved movies so much I wanted to make one.

I was 18 years old when I booked 'Youth in Revolt,' and it was my first movie, and I was starring in that movie - and even then, I didn't feel like I had made it.

I don't want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.

Well, unbeknownst to everybody, I did a movie when I was 19.

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to make films. That's really all I ever wanted to do.

I made movies all the time when I was a kid.

It sounds so negative of me to say, but I don't feel like there were many coming-of-age films when I was growing up. I think that when I was a teenager, I felt really misrepresented in the teenage roles that I was watching onscreen. Especially in women.

By the time I was 10 or 11, I knew I wanted to make films.

I always wanted to make movies.

I made a movie when I was 15 years old with all my friends. This is when IMDb was a little more lax with its proceedings, so it's listed as one of my projects. I was 15 years old; it's a terrible movie. I wrote 50 percent of it because I wanted to kiss this one girl, and I wrote a kissing scene for it.
