A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene, and I loved creating those, but I never really had great stories to string them together.

I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.

I really want to do film, but I want to do the right film. The truth for me is that I'm really driven by stories. So there are stories I want to tell, and if it's a good story then I want to do it, whatever genre it is.

I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.

I love movies. Movies have influenced me as a writer.

I like to be able to understand the feeling of the director, that a film corresponds to something in his life. Otherwise, it doesn't interest me much.
