- Becoming a writer and having films made is probably the best way to become a director.
- It was the most magical time of my life. It represented to me everything that was exciting about life.
- My first day being on a set was extremely intimidating and frightening. But after a couple of hours, I just eased into it. I felt very secure and comfortable and I realized this is where I really want to be.
