Twitter reminds me of an era in French literature - Emile Zola and Honoré de Balzac - and the beginning of modernity and gossip. They had these fashion magazines of the time on display with all of the Emile Zola references.

I really like Olivier Assayas filmmaking. He always has this global - economy thing going on.

Fashion, at modern time, was actually a way for women to go out in the world. There was one painting of a woman sitting at a café, drinking a beer by herself and kind of pretending to read but really watching people, that sort of thing. It fascinated me.

You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism.

There's the added element of adrenaline if you're performing. You're aware of spatial relationships and the music.

At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it.

Women make natural anarchists and revolutionaries, because they've always been second-class citizens, kinda having had to claw their way up.
