"There's a lot of anxiety in film-making; you get flops and a fear of failure. But when I went off to work as a young kid, my mom would always say, 'Remember now: have fun, and don't take it too seriously.' That advice has really served me. Don't take yourself too damn seriously." He said.

Jeff also said that it feels good when things fall in according to the order. But when it doesn't, just relax.

"You always have high hopes when you start out and every once in a while those hopes are transcended. It's even better than you thought. Sometimes the pieces don't quite come together. Most often, actually. It's kind of weird when it all comes together, but when it does it feels great."
