If you try to create something that everybody can relate to, you're gonna make something that nobody can relate to.

Today, when you're marketing a brand, you can't try to appeal to everybody. You should speak to a group of people and create them as loyalists.

To me, no matter who you're casting for what role, if something's authentic, usually you can mine something good there.

I think everybody can identify, you know, with this sort of struggle to decide for yourself who you are, you know, and what your place in life is.

Depending on the story that you're telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody's story.

You graduate from film school and move to Hollywood. Hollywood tells you, 'We're not the place for you to make films,' so you decide you have to make a film yourself.
