I never get myself in a situation where I don't have creative freedom.
Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.
Ever since I was little, I've felt very comfortable on a set. The time is stressful - being creative under time constraints. But there is an excitement and energy that you only have a certain amount of time to get what you want.
