I guess I watch movies to make myself happier a lot.

I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.

And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film, gain the benefit of my education, and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.

I'm happy with the movies I did, and the movies I didn't do.

Right now the thing that I have learned the most is to be grateful that I have finally gotten to a point where I am being paid to make films, after eight years.

I was able to make many different kinds of movies. They enriched me on many different levels.

And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.

I feel totally lucky and happy. I think a lot of young directors feel this way but you sort of, like, have a biological clock that starts ticking and you like feel like you aren't anything until you direct a movie and you need to find yourself and this is how you do it.

I loved movies, growing up. They brought me so much joy.
