I Am An Obsessive Flyer, Myself.

I Don't Consider Myself Bossy, But I Do Know What I Want. You Know, I Have A Gut Feeling About A Piece Of Material, But I've Never Envisioned Myself As The Director On Top Of The Hill With A Megaphone In My Hand, Screaming At 1,000 Extras.

I Think Romance Is A Tool, Comedy Is A Tool And Drama Is A Tool. I Really Just Want To Tell Stories That Challenge The Viewer, Move People, Make You Laugh, Perhaps Push An Idea About Being Open-minded But Never Settle On A Genre Or An Opinion. I Hate Genre. I Like Movies That Are Original In Their Approach.

Selfishness, Narcissism, Being Uncomfortable In Your Own Skin, Not Feeling Connected To The World Around You, Feeling Dislocated From Family And Youth, Having A Strange Relationship With Your Childhood - All Those Things Feel Really True To Me.

When Characters Change On Screen, It Makes You Feel Better About Yourself. You Think, 'oh I Change Too, I'm Constantly Becoming A Better Person.'

Yeah, I Was Born In Montreal And I Go Back To Vancouver And Toronto A Lot, So I Have A Sense Of Being Canadian, And I Was Raised By Two Canadians, And My Wife Is Canadian, So Yeah, I Feel It.
