If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.

All my movies are achingly personal.

I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.

I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
