The thing is, you never know with any movie how it's going to turn out. It's always a mystery - you'll do pages and pages of scenes that will never make it onto the screen.
A lot of films come out before they're finished.
Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.
Some people say that they read the first 20 pages, and then decide if they want to do the film or not. But, I have to read the entire thing 'cause anything can change in a script.
Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.
Sometimes when you get on a new movie you kind of how to figure out the way other people work and it can be like being the new kid in high school where you're just trying to find out where your place is on the movie or on the set.
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.
You don't want to be starting a film not knowing what you want to do.
The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
