I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about. ↗

I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances. ↗

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world. ↗

Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member. ↗

I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of. ↗
