For me, personally, I grew up watching American heroes and American movies and TV.

Movies that are subtitled don't usually do as well in American theatres.

I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.

I think it's that thing of growing up all the time watching American movies and listening to American music. It hits you in a way that's a lot purer because you are not in that culture that you're watching.

It's a big problem for American movies that all their movies are produced to be global.

A lot of people celebrate their past, but I don't look at it all. I don't Google myself; I focus on the future. This is a volatile profession, and the moment you start thinking you've got something, that's when the floor beneath you falls through, so I hope to make more movies and TV shows.
