My parents were open about sex. And my dad makes paintings that have a sexual component and it still scares me.

You know, when I first started making online videos, there were a lot of filmmakers I befriended who were doing it too.

My boyfriend's a musician, and I think when he's on stage is the only time he's not worrying. And so that's the reason he keeps doing it is because it gives him that sort of experience of weightlessness that I only get out of being sort of, deep into writing something or really lost in a moment on set, like it's available to me in these select moments through my work.

But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.

This weird pressure that mothers are put under, like this idea that if you can't breastfeed, you're not doing something properly, or if you choose not to.

I am thinking particularly of a shower I took where the lower half of my body was under the running water and the upper half was laid out on the bath mat, eating a loaf of bread.

I would have specific books [when I was 12 or 13] that had pages that I knew had sex on them that I would go and read.
