The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I'm not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.

I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.

Filmmaking is a real craft.

Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.

I like the feeling of making things. It's very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you're forced to collaborate with so many people. You're involved in the beginning to end, you're involved with so many elements, and when it's done, you're like, 'I made this movie.'

The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.

I think people think filmmaking is fun, but I've never thought that. For me it's always been a lot of work and pain and stress.

As a filmmaker, the only way that I understand how to make a film is holistically.
