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 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 want things to be characters and not me. Why would I want to play me?

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

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

I'm fascinated by how ethnic communities have assimilated into massive capitalist environments.

I don't hang out at trendy Hollywood bars.
