“For me, the films which I have selected share a message of passion. Whether your field is film, photography, or architecture, it is important to hold passion and pride in your work. Passion is linked to a sense of curiosity, to youth. No matter your age, it is better to be an unripe green apple than a mature red apple. To be unripe is to be youthful, to be naïve, to be energetic. When you have matured completely, you are no longer able to be extremely passionate or attempt things that might end in failure.”
