If I fail, at least I will have failed my way.
Sometimes, you really don't understand why something is important to you until you get halfway through the movie - or maybe even all the way through.
All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.

Being an artist is a way of saying, I am here, and this is what I stand for.
