I completely take on the risk, the poker game, which being an artist means, and I'm going to try to make a film .. which honestly reflects what I have in my head.

Young people do a lot of risk-taking, and this is just another opportunity. Young people play (poker) like a video game. They've grown up believing their skill is going to trump the randomness of the game.

It was wonderful. I played the best poker of my life and I got as lucky as I've ever gotten in my life. It's a dream come true.

You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things your life brings you into contact with.
