taken thinking grandparent
Communism destroyed so many generations. I look at my grandparents and their generation, and it's as if their lives were taken from them. It's really sad and frightening that something like that could have happened. But I don't really think of myself as Russian anymore. I didn't even live there for that long.
thinking passive-aggressive bother
I'm not passive aggressive. If something bothers me, I think about it, then I act on it. I express it.
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.
new-relationship thinking looks
I think any time you're in a new relationship, there's so much to look forward to.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
beautiful thinking reality
I like film because it brings you very close to the absurd reality that you might spend a day shooting and not get a single image that you like or works, and you won't really know for a few days at least as you wait. It connects you and grounds you to a material reality and a patience that seems lost with digital. I also think the grain texture remains forever different, and in my opinion, what I find to be more beautiful.
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.
heart mind target
I prefer when movies target my heart instead of my mind.
