I think what inspires me is in a constant state of flux...it's easier to stick to photographers and perhaps cinematographers, though the great medieval, Mannerist, and Baroque painters of Italian, Spanish, Flemish, and German origin are a constant source of inspiration, along with select modernists like Dali.

I've always loved punk music, since I was in my early teens, since middle school.

I'm actually embarrassed to tell people I'm Russian these days, because it's become such an awful place.

I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.

When you don't understand the fashion world you're just grateful you get to wear good clothes.

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.

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.
