It's hard for me to approach [a film] as a still image now that I know exactly what it takes to make a movie. I mean, I know what it takes to make a movie that lasts five minutes.

With photography, I like to leave a lot of the story, even to myself.

It's always really scary to release new work.

When I'm shooting in other cities, I'm just trying to make it look like California.

I can't even imagine what it is like to make a movie that lasts two hours.

I never thought about the green, but LA has a lot of greenery.

The eyes sparked a lot of things for me, it could be somebody remembering something they had witnessed or heard about, or it could be the person in the photograph that was experiencing a tragedy or it could also be the spectator looking on from a safe distance.
