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.

I was drawn to photography as an extension of film, and the beauty of film is that it's a sensuous, fetishistic medium.

Taking photographs seems to be a means to express some kind of emotional, abstractive narrative. I look at the images that I'm most proud of like a film about the world the way I see it (or at least saw it at that moment, a perspective that seems to be ever-shifting and filled with self-doubt.)

I don't really like watching my work. I don't mind watching it when I was a little kid because I forgive myself a lot, since I was a little kid.

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

I've been lucky to play characters that are really broad.

I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can.
