- It's the same way you choose this path of making movies.

If you're going to commit to doing something,

The zero and first conditional

and if you have that fire, that large in your belly,

then you're going to, you're going to destroy everything

in its path to achieve the highest level all the time.

And I wasn't going to let a broken back stop me.

- I'd gone to El Salvador on a documentary for Frontline

the sound man that had been working with me

became the assistant director to Oliver Stone on Salvador.

To be asked to shoot a feature when you're 28 years old,

But when I'm in the middle of it I'm not thinking about it.

and I'm thinking less about where it sits in the timeline.

I had also a tremendous level of fear about the event.

I have a huge phobia of being in this place,

having to walk up on a stage and deliver a speech.

I'm sitting next to people that I've admired

my entire life in terms of what they've created.

These people were a part of what brought me into
