editing ego coins
Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
cameras helping sometimes
Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.
discovery quiet-moments made
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
friendship night my-best-friend
I love Saturday nights with my best friend and a big bowl of pasta, wanting a good scare, something that will say, 'Listen, your life is not as bad as this. Your life can be so much worse'.
gay
You dont have to be gay to be attracted to your friend.
prayer important praying
Do I pray? Yes. Prayer is very important to me.
holiday holy-days catholic
Do I observe holy days and holidays? Yeah, the ritual is very important to me. It's part of being Ukrainian Catholic. So every holy day we're baking pierogis and not eating meat.
inspiring mothers-day mother
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
perspective film ought
You ought to have a perspective when you're making a film.
weed new-york moving
Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It's just moving scenery. It's kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It's the way you keep your grass mowed. It's the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.
perseverance struggle looks
I look for struggle in the roles I choose - struggle and perseverance.
independent creative arena
I do love directing. I'm only comfortable working in the independent film arena for a very small budget where I have creative control and I can put my stamp on it.
media delicate-things people
It's a delicate thing for me, with how involved I am in social media and being a part of people's lives in a way that they want me to.
party people rooms
Partying has never been my thing. I've been around some wild people. I've been in the same room and watched them experiment, and that's been entertaining.
