He also said, “Just making movies is a really special thing to me,” and “Since I was a little 4 years old, my dream has been to travel around the world and make movies.When I was 18, I lay in bed and thought deeply about what kind of person I would become, and as a result of my thinking, I decided that I should pour everything I have into movies and storytelling.I love movies so much.It’s not me making movies; this, movies are me.All of this is my privilege.I’m grateful that you allow me to entertain you through movies.”
