I'm basically quite a cheerful person.

'Frankenstein' feels like an ancient tale, the kind of traditional story that appears in many other forms.

I think that short films often contain an originality, a creative freedom, an energy and an invention that is inspiring and entertaining. I think they are, as Shakespeare put it, a good deed in a naughty world.

Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don't get so worked up about things.

I choose to be inspired by things that have been done well in the past. So, I don't worry about being compared, because I think that does paralyze you.

I'll tell you what I'm grateful for, and that's the clarity of understanding that the most important things in life are health, family and friends, and the time to spend on them.
