Everything Has To Have Some Kind Of

I Tried Working Odd Jobs That Had Nothing To Do With Creating, And It Was Difficult For Me. In The End, I Just Always Loved Movies. When I'm Making A Film I Feel Most Alive, Like I'm Doing The Right Thing, And I'm In The Place Where I Need To Be.

Directing, To Me, Starts Even Before We Get To The Set. Directing Is A Fluid, An Abstract Thing. It's Not Done Only Purely In The Moment. It's An Idea That You Plant Before. It's A Location That You Show. It's Something I Whisper In Someone's Ear. It's A Freeform Thing. It Only Takes Me A Week To Write The Script, But It's Years That You're Thinking About It. The Execution Is Really The Fast Part.

For Certain Things, Certain Audiences, People Will Laugh. And In Other Places, There's Dead Silence. And I Enjoy Them Both. You Try To Make Films Where It's Never One Way - Like Life.
