When 'Twilight' hit the New York Times bestseller list at number 5, for me that was the pinnacle, that was the moment. I never thought I would be there.

I make my films because I'm affected by a situation, by something that makes me want to reflect on it, that lends itself to an artistic reflection.

I'm happy that I have my family, and I'm happy that I had Virginia, where I grew up, to retreat to any time I felt overwhelmed.
