I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.

I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.

You make a movie with some people, you become friends over the process of making this movie and then... you go your own way.

Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.

I tend to make movies about my peer group. I couldn't see myself now going back and making a movie about a bunch of college kids, necessarily. I kind of always operate in the things I'm observing around me, whether it's friends having babies now in my life or what have you.

I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.

I've always been really into movies, and I definitely thought I'd be involved with movies at some point.

When I was a kid I feel lonely, I have not many friends. If you make a movie, then you can work with different kinds of people and make different kinds of friend. That's very important to me.

I had no interest in cinema until I was 24 years old. My friends had posters of their favourite stars in their houses, but I was far from a film buff - very detached from films.

I'm obsessed by film. I'm obsessed with music and producing and making things happen.
