I constantly remind myself that there are terrible movies out there. I try to watch them, some of them, to give myself an understanding of what not to do.

I'm used to working with restrictions and that's when you come up with the more creative stuff.

I never wanted to be a filmmaker. I still, sometimes, think I got sidetracked by this, like this is a tangent. My main thing was painting; I was just going to do that.

The films I like to watch are when they make it relatable to human audiences.

To make filmmaking interesting to me, I want to keep learning things.

I hate the modern day the kids live in. I don't think it's very cool. Everyone's interconnected.

Sometimes there are really happy mistakes.

I've become more like water, I'm more relaxed and I'll say, "Okay, let's just completely change it and do it that way."

Hitler rounded up all of the vampires in Europe.

I've loved comics since I was a kid, collected them, I've always dreamed of being involved in comics.

Victory & failure are second things but at least you tried that's more important..!!

It is our beliefs, more than our experiences, that determine life's possibilities.

You have to find out what's right for you, so it's trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.

Manila is a city of extremes. The poor are very poor and the rich very rich. A constant reminder to the rich that there is another side to life.

Memory is often - perhaps usually - a distorting lens: what we think we remember isn't the way it was at all. It's what we'd like to remember.

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!

Master your strengths. Outsource your weaknesses.

Nothing makes me happier than dancing. It transforms me. It's the only time I let out what is inside and I feel completely sensual and sexy and alive.

I guess you could say I'm a model slash hotelier slash actor slash screenwriter.
