In a relationship when things are really great you don't need to say anything and just enjoy the other person. Sometimes with a couple, it gets dark and you don't know what to say and that silence can last all day. Other times you don't want to stop talking because you don't want to lose one another.

One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.

I'm sure there are directors who don't like to work with actors and don't know how to be sensitive to actors.

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

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

It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.

I like film because it brings you very close to the absurd reality that you might spend a day shooting and not get a single image that you like or works, and you won't really know for a few days at least as you wait. It connects you and grounds you to a material reality and a patience that seems lost with digital. I also think the grain texture remains forever different, and in my opinion, what I find to be more beautiful.
