Quote

I always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic.

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

When I was young, my idea was to become a filmmaker.

I came out to Hollywood when I was just 18, and my dad, he was really into Hollywood and theater and art, and I guess growing up, he exposed me to a lot of culture, and I just started making Super-8 films in high school and decided I wanted to be a filmmaker.

I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.

I actually grew up wanting to be a filmmaker. I wanted to make movies, and music was a detour, almost.

I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.

I want to pursue a career in film.

I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that. I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

I didn't start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets.
