I made movies all the time when I was a kid.

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

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to make films. That's really all I ever wanted to do.

I've always wanted to write movies - I always used to tell my mom that I wanted to be a director.

I wanted to write in film or something like that. I thought acting was an embarrassing thing to say you wanted to do, especially when you're young. It seemed really uncool.

I never thought about writing a novel until I was 13, and that happened by chance. I was on school holidays, and I was bored, and I thought I just wanted to do something to occupy myself instead of asking, 'What can I do, mum? Entertain me.' I started, and it really just took over, and I realised, 'Wow, this is an amazing experience.'

As a kid, a little kid, I loved going to the movies, and now I love making movies.

When I was about 14 or 15 I decided to become a writer and never for a moment since have I wanted to do anything else.

I wasn't one of those kids who dreamed of writing novels when I was 8 or 12. I wanted to be a film director. I wanted to make big action movies. I loved movies like 'Die Hard,' 'Predator,' 'Aliens,' 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.'

I had grown up loving movies and had always wanted to write them.
