I've Always Loved America.

When I Was In New York I Heard Many People Saying That The Independent Film Industry Was In Big Trouble. I Was Reflecting On This When I Came Home. Realizing That Ever Since I Started Filmmaking, People Have Being Saying That. But Somehow It Keeps Going. Filmmakers Keep Going. We Need Stories To Make Sense Of The World And Some People Like Me Are Driven To Tell Them. I Have Faith This Will Always Be Possible.

I Always Think That If You Look At Anyone In Detail, You Will Have Empathy For Them Because You Recognize Them As A Human Being, No Matter What They've Done.

I Grew Up With A Lot Of Hollywood Films. Cozy Farm Houses, Cowboys, Nice Flats In New York. Especially As A Kid, Those Things Have A Huge Impression On You.

I Was Never That Comfortable In Front Of The Camera, It Always Terrified Me.

As Long As You Keep Your Budgets Small, There's A Way Of Making Films.
