hollywood bars trendy
I don't hang out at trendy Hollywood bars.
country russia sometimes
Russia itself is an extremely complex country, and sometimes I feel like all of that comes back to haunt me. I can see why so many Russian writers were so tortured.
character play lucky
I've been lucky to play characters that are really broad.
school teens punk
I've always loved punk music, since I was in my early teens, since middle school.
morning thinking two
I need what I'm thinking to come out into the world, even if it's a two-word approval, like, "Yeah, I agree," I need that approval so that in the morning I can get up and use that when I go to work. It's a weird version of focusing.
thinking people levels
If you want to make movies you need to think on a micro-micro level and figure out how to make them for nothing with people who really care about your movie and really want to make it.
community environment capitalist
I'm fascinated by how ethnic communities have assimilated into massive capitalist environments.
character thinking hands
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.
thinking important ifs
I think its important for movies to recognize that they are part of a history of movies. I also think that most movies are about movies anyway, even if they're about something else.
silence culture uncomfortable
Maybe silence is something we're uncomfortable with as a culture, I don't know.
war vampire nosferatu
One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.
voice trying archives
I'm trying to figure out what I can do creatively. It's about trying to find new things and trying to figure out voices and borrowing from things and learning as much as possible so that I have an archive of things to borrow from.
thinking promise definitions
I think the beauty of images is that they are by definition fetishes and every image (banal or not) as a fetish holds within it the promise of a sensuousness that (without generalizing) at least I, as a human being, am drawn to.
flower years orange
At age 12 I had an obsession with Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and then proceeded to watch all the other Kubrick films I could including a doc called Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures in which it was revealed to me that he started as a photographer...I got a camera sometime shortly after, but spent many years just photographing flowers in my neighborhood.
