feature figure great trying
I think what's so great about making your first feature film is that you're so naive in some ways; you don't know what to expect, and you don't question things as much because you're just trying to figure it out as you go.
asked felt seemed studied
I studied photography at Bard, but I just felt tired of it. Someone asked me to be in a video but didn't want to be in it, so they told me to make my own, and that seemed more fun to me.
kids movies
Most movies use older actors, but I thought, if I could just put kids on camera and get them to be themselves, what could be easier?
mom onto
When I was a baby, my mom was always bringing me onto set.
fascinates vice
My only vice is 'Keeping up With The Kardashians.' I can't really explain what it is that fascinates me so much, but it just sucks me in.
name work
My name does help me get in the door, but it doesn't do the work for me.
mum preserved sad time weird
When I went to college, my mum was really sad, so she preserved my bedroom, like a weird time capsule.
I feel like I can communicate much better using images than words.
art clothes create seeing
I enjoy seeing how my friends - Proenza Schouler, Zac Posen, Rodarte - use clothes to create their vision and art.
mascara
I don't really wear makeup. I don't like the feeling of it. I just put mascara on, and that's kind of it.
front
I don't like being in front of the camera.
good knew mom
I always knew my mom was a good actress.
Friends would ask, 'Have you seen 'The Godfather?' and I'd be like, 'No.'
Chanel is a brand that is so inspiring.
