I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making movies.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.

I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.

A movie goes from several stages, from idea to script. As you continue shooting, you will make some adjustments. You're constantly adjusting. It's like a piece of music. You're constantly trying to make it better.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.
