My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, You didn't get pressured into having to be a director? But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.

I just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic.

Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.
