Quotes:
- "I do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive."
- "I've realized that the only way to make movies that you're proud of, that don't fall into the sentimental bullsh*t that so many movies fall into, is to fight. You have to fight. So many people are willing to sleepwalk through things and fall into the 'not human, not interesting' choice."
