I like the idea of working in different genres and transcending genres and hopefully finding success, and ultimately make movies people like.

I'm not coming from film school. I learned cinema in the cinema watching films, so you always have a curiosity. I say, 'Well, what if I make a film in this genre? What if I make this film like this?'

I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.

Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.

Making movies is my profession. I like doing it a lot.

Films are not the sole area in my life. Films are a passion. But it's not like I'll die if I don't get another movie. I'll grow, I'll flourish, I'll learn something new, but I'll always do something that I like. If I get the right film, I'll do it. I will not compromise for anything else.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

I'm a student of the movies. I'm a student of all media. This is what I do, and I like to immerse myself in what's current and what's topical. And I find that I'm drawn to those things.

I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
