I went to film school and wanted to learn everything there was about making movies.

It used to be that you came out of school, and you got married - those who were going to get married. But my peers are getting married in their early 30s, so now there's like this extra 10 years of that angst.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.

I think Jersey is a character (in the film), and there's a dual meaning with a state of mind - a garden is where things begin.

I have to get three hours of school everyday. Then we film the scenes over and over. Between takes I like to play around with the other kids.

Film school was a privilege I could not afford.
