I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

I was always interested in film, but I never knew how to go about becoming a filmmaker.

As a filmmaker, I'm very collaborative. I don't pretend to know everything that is needed to make a movie. What I like to do is get together with a group of people, starting with developing the story and bounce around ideas.

The biggest thing I have realized was that you have to choose your collaborators very carefully, and that not everybody can like you. The process of filmmaking is so difficult, there's no point in doing it unless you can do it the way you want.

I don't necessarily see myself as an experienced filmmaker just because I've been in a few movies.

Well, first of all, making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.

I have always done films with friends rather than strangers.

Ultimately, I am very filmmaker oriented, as a producer.
