Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.

There are different sides to me; I wanted to make a personal film but I would not want to make any film that does not reflect me in it. At least, not right now. I'm just too young to be doing that.

I knew I wanted to make a movie that hadn't really existed in a while in terms of being a teenager.

I love the idea of making a movie for kids but it's got to be that, with my take on it.

It's embarrassing, isn't it? It took me 15 years to make an 18-minute movie.

To make a film is eighteen months of your life. It's seven days a week. It's twenty hours a day.

I would still encourage somebody, if they wanted to make a movie, to just go take a movie camera. That's clearly been shown to work.

As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it's somebody else's point of view, and it's impossible for it to be yours.

I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.

I think that those are the things that you can uniquely do with film that are difficult to do anywhere else: they can bring a picture to life, give it a natural and historical context and make you feel that everything else is suddenly credible.
