I've Always Had An Underdog Perspective.

Everyone Wants To Be Loved; Everyone Wants To Know Where They're Going In Life; Everyone Wants To Have A Sense Of Direction And Feel The Next Day Is Going To Be Better Than Today. We Just All Deal With It In A Different Way.

I Think It's A Mistake For Young Filmmakers To Just Buy Digital Equipment And Shoot A Feature. Make Short Films First, Make Your Mistakes And Learn From Them.

There Are Only So Many Movies You Can Direct. And Yet There Are Movies That I Want To Make Sure Make It To The Screen In As Honest A Way As Possible.

When You're Young, You Want To Make Every Kind Of Film: Musicals, Westerns, Horror. Slowly You Begin To Hear Your Own Voice. I Hope People Receive What I Do As Small, Personal Films That Are Somewhat Contrarian About Their Main Characters.

My Writing Voice Is Very Much Like 'thank You For Smoking.' It's A Guy's Voice. It's Very Masculine.
