I love production. I could do it 365 days a year. Post is different. It's just too slow, and everything is very finite.

I didn't really want to be a filmmaker, growing up. Other than Spike Lee's movies, I would think, 'Where is a place for me?' We were so damn poor that it just seemed too far beyond.
