Personal Quote:

[Describing his 2007 movie Stuck] "Stuck" is about a desperate man who is apparently getting weaker, but is actually becoming stronger. He starts the film in a passive state of mind and retreats from all the things the world throws at him, but then because of this catastrophe, he actually becomes a tougher, more determined and focused character.
