Quotes
- Cinema was my rite of passage.
- I really took filmmaking very seriously... It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I'm a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.
- The freshest moments in my films have always been with unknown actors.
