I definitely challenge people. But hopefully, I am working harder than anybody else, and so people won't resent the fact that I want them to work hard, as well.

I really do believe that if you don't challenge yourself and risk failing, that it's not interesting.

Most of the time, I do what I'm offered, but after I worked for it. I think I try much harder for the things that scare me and inspire me. The things that scare and inspire you are things that are different from what you did before.

I'm not entangled in shaping my work according to other people's views of how I should have done it.

I do seem to try to make things harder and harder for myself. In some perverse way, obstacles interest me and I'm drawn to projects that end up being incredibly laborious.

I love a challenge, and I think it's when people least expect you to do something that you often do your best.

It is always a challenge to work when people have big expectations. I would much rather feel comfortable working without expectations.

I like challenging myself. I'm not a person who likes not to work.

I don't analyze what I'm doing. I've read convincing interpretations of my work, and sometimes I've noticed something that I wasn't aware of, but I think, at this point, people read into my work out of habit. Or I'm just very, very smart.

I do admit to being challenging, but it's always for the work, it's never personal. I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.
