It was like I was alive.

Yeah, I think it just, I was good at it.

I really was good at it.

And I mean, it wasn't like I had no experience making films.

I started making films when I was very young, just out of fun.

But I was just one of these artistic kids that did everything.

I made films.

I took photographs.

I played in rock bands.

I did comic strips.

But I understood filmmaking pretty well.

Yeah, I think about 11, I started making movies and it was like, I had seen Friday the 13th and I'm like, oh, we can all do this.

And, and I was tearing apart my brother, Sean, who's an actor now, you know, with fake blood and,

what eight ten and and do you think it was because of that passion that you're where you're at now um or was it just uh was it was it was there a moment of great luck right place right time i'm sure a combination of of i think it is a combination of a number of things it's a combination of of luck it luck is definitely plays a hand in it i think a part of it is i agree that i still i somehow am able to shut out the world about what the world thinks and just act from a creative place wow

So I don't have to do what I'm doing to like, you know, please, like that can come in after.

Yet at the same time, I have a right brain mentality.

So I'm sort of able to think how things fit into a pattern.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, the puzzle making part of it is a part of it for me.

So I think, yeah, I think I have the right mix of being passion, creativity, but also detachment.

Yeah, although I have a partner, Peter Safran, who takes care of everything that I don't want to have to take care of.
