As much as movies are about the words that you're saying, they're also about what's not said, the silent moments.

When I'm working, even though it's sometimes challenging and difficult, there's still no place I would rather be.

Often, when you're on a movie set, you're miserable. It's cold. You're hungry. You're tired. It's still dark out. And yet, there's no place I'd rather be. It's the happiest I am, and the most calm.

I definitely think independent film is very exciting, and you get to sometimes take bigger risks. So that's always a challenge and something that I look forward to.
