When I started to watch some of the films I'd done I realized I was doing movies that I might not actually want to see.

I want to make timeless movies.

I think ever since I was preteen I wanted to direct movies and tell stories.

I've always wanted to make movies.

A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.

I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like 'I really want to be part of that ' but not realizing what that was.

But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.

I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

I play Xbox. I have a little boy to look after. I have dogs. You know I have things to do. I would love to be able to sit down and watch something like a movie. I watch my own movies because I have to.

The person that made me want to make movies and the reason I do films is Bruce Lee. He was an incredible actor and he had a lot of charisma. Handsome action you know everything was there. I loved Bruce Lee.
