Quotes: 

“It seems like it's been a really lucky journey if you think about it.”

“I wouldn't get so confident in my skills as a director and I wouldn't understand that I really want to continue that journey and that film was very important for me.”

“There was a moment that it seemed like we were gonna make it… And suddenly we had nothing.”

“But the truth is that I was way happier when I could just make films.”
