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.

I don't feel any connection to Russia.
hollywood bars trendy
I don't hang out at trendy Hollywood bars.
ice ice-skating skating
I tried ice-skating and wasn't very good at it.
character play lucky
I've been lucky to play characters that are really broad.
distance long intense
Every relationship I've been in becomes long-distance because of work. It's never worked out. It puts an intense strain on the relationship, and at a certain point, it becomes too difficult.
people awful these-days
I'm actually embarrassed to tell people I'm Russian these days, because it's become such an awful place.
two nerd want
There are two parts of me. There's the really critical, film-nerd part of me that loves that, and then there's the part of me where I'm like, "I really didn't like that movie, but I want to work with that director because he loves actors."
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.
views people culture
And also, that's the kind of wonderful thing about film culture, is the interaction between films and who works on what, where they were before, and now what they're doing now, and that inevitably informs how people view a film.
kids mind forgiving
I don't really like watching my work. I don't mind watching it when I was a little kid because I forgive myself a lot, since I was a little kid.
reading trying theory
I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can.
new-relationship thinking looks
I think any time you're in a new relationship, there's so much to look forward to.
