Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.

Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure making the music sound sweeter the wine taste richer the laughter ring louder because they are there.

When I go into making a movie personally I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.

I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make but I also reflect other points of view.

I really love the independent movies and I just think that sometimes when they throw a lot of money into it and a lot of special effects and a lot of stunts that you lose the connection the human connection and I personally love movies that are about the human connection.

All my movies got screwed up because of my personality.

I'm not Michael Moore. I think Michael Moore wants to tell you how to think. He wants to give you answers. I make movies to raise my own personal questions and not to give answers.

There certainly is no secret in that there are plenty of people who don't like plenty of my movies. Each one of my films is personal each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that. With each one of my films I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.

All my movies are achingly personal.

The will to win the desire to succeed the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
