”I'm so pleased to be a part of the Hollywood School in Ukraine. My favourite part of my profession is myself as a storyteller. I think all countries that live on this planet need to communicate with each other. It's all about communication and getting the planet together and telling each other's stories.
Use your own lives and write your own movie... I think you could do that, to look into your own lives and write, we need that. You know, the play is the thing. You get some great material and that's the key. Also, don't wait around to get hired by some big outfit to realize your dream. Create it yourself!”

”I think it's important that when I was in film school at the time it was really great to see other artists, other directors, producers, writers, just to talk about their experiences. I think that that was a good thing because it allows you as a film student to see it was possible and that it could be done. For me this film school is very important in order to have that dialogue.”
