Most of the girls I know are from my school. I've gone to school with the same people since fourth grade, so I can't wait to go to a place where I don't know anybody.

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

Maybe silence is something we're uncomfortable with as a culture, I don't know.

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.

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 prefer when movies target my heart instead of my mind.

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