I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.

I never had any film training. I went to Northwestern. I studied education and theater. So it was all theater training.

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn't have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience.

I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.

As a kid, I was just writing scripts and taking whatever film classes I could in college.

I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

I used to sit in school and dream about getting into films.
