Securing distribution is always a battle. And to get a film released is a pretty special accomplishment.

It's always money no matter kind of budget you have, though, it forces you to be creative and not take anything for granted.

If you pitch your movie to someone and they say, "Oh, please, don't make that. No one would see it." Do it! Because that means you may have something that's not the norm.

Create your own path. Cultivate it. It'll take time. It doesn't happen overnight. I was an actor for many years before I got behind the camera.

I know it sounds corny, but I’d love to improve people’s lives, especially socially… Making the world more open is not an overnight thing. It’s a ten-to-fifteen-year thing.

Love your enemy. But don't forget he is not your friend
