I Love That Sense Of Change That

I Have This Theory That Your First Film Is Always Your Best Film In Some Way. I Always Try To Get Back To That Moment When You're Not Relying On Things You've Done Before.

I Find My Own Pain And Others' Difficult To Tolerate, So I Always Want To Try To Shift Things So They'll Be Better. But In Doing That, If I Am Coming From A Place Of Ego, I Often Cause Harm. So It's A Struggle For Me To Set My Ego Outside And Find A Softer And More Compassionate Way Of Approaching Things.

I Want People To Leave The Cinema Feeling That Something's Been Confirmed For Them About Life.

Your First Film Is Always Your Best Film, In A Way. There's Something About Your First Film That You Never Ever Get Back To, But You Should Always Try. It's That Slight Sense Of Not Knowing What You're Doing, Because The Technical Skills You Learn - Especially If You Have A Film That Works, That Has Some Kind Of Success - Are Beguiling. The Temptation Is To Use Them Again, And They're Not Necessarily Good Storytelling Techniques.

Theres A Certain Truth That You Do End Up Making The Same Film Again And Again So If You Vary The Genre You Have A Chance Of Breaking That Cycle.
