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.
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.
war vampire nosferatu
One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.
fun writing thinking
My playing music is strictly for fun. When I was in a band, I was really excited to talk about it since I had never really played music to that extent. It was never meant as something I would consider as anything more than having fun with my friends. But I think I would enjoy writing music for the movies that I'm working on.
lucky feels
I feel lucky to be in whatever I'm in. I feel lucky to be working.
people heritage proud
I've been really interested in focusing on the aspects of my Russian heritage I'm proud of. I'm actually embarrassed to tell people I'm Russian, because it's become such an awful place.
jobs character thinking
The way I see the job, my definition of it, is to create characters to the best of your ability and then fit into what's trying to be accomplished in the general framework of the film. I think that's whether you're doing this- even if you're doing musical theater. That's what I think an actors job is. I don't know. I like to think what an actors job is is to create characters.
mean emotional self
Taking photographs seems to be a means to express some kind of emotional, abstractive narrative. I look at the images that I'm most proud of like a film about the world the way I see it (or at least saw it at that moment, a perspective that seems to be ever-shifting and filled with self-doubt.)
