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

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

I was probably 11 by the time I saw a movie.

I started watching actual movies when I was pretty young.

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

I was making films when I was about 12 years old - Super-8 films.

I made my first movie when I was five.

I think by around the time I was about 8 or 9, the idea of filmmaking probably took hold. I made little Super 8 extravaganzas when I was a kid, the first being my own version of 'Romeo and Juliet,' and where I played all the parts except for Juliet.

I grew up watching films. Film has been part of my life since I was a child.

I had a really generic upbringing, I think, when it comes to viewing movies as a kid. I didn't really know what was out there or what was being tried. I was, like, 'E.T.' and 'Indiana Jones.' Those were the only things I knew existed.
