The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It's the same ratio that you'll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.

There's something really appealing about the simplicity of black-and-white images.

Normally you read a screenplay - and I read a lot of them - and the characters don't feel like people. They feel like plot devices or cliches or stereotypes.

I've always found it sort of hilarious, and occasionally horrifying, how these images [in mass media] impact us, and especially when it comes to love and sex and relationships, I think we sometimes develop unrealistic expectations.

Success is not important to me, nor are power or money. If the script feels good, then I'm in. It's that simple.

We’re all beautiful. We all deserve attention.

I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.
