And also, that's the kind of wonderful thing about film culture, is the interaction between films and who works on what, where they were before, and now what they're doing now, and that inevitably informs how people view a film.

My parents were of the opinion, because they had started skating very young, that you should have something that you do that you care about, because it structures your life as you're growing up.

At age 12 I had an obsession with Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and then proceeded to watch all the other Kubrick films I could including a doc called Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures in which it was revealed to me that he started as a photographer...I got a camera sometime shortly after, but spent many years just photographing flowers in my neighborhood.

There's only a handful of people I trust completely, and I know who they are. Other than that, I pretty much don't trust people.

I tried ice-skating and wasn't very good at it.

The ability to have a choice in what you do is a privilege.

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