I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

The best movies have one sentence that they're exploring, a thesis, something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.

Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies, but as a life.

I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.

There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.
