My directors of photography light my films, but the colours of the sets, furnishings, clothes, hairstyles - that's me. Everything that's in front of the camera, I bring you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
I'm not only my films, but I'm pretty much my films.
I open myself up every time I walk on screen and give you everything that I am. There are parts of me that are in every movie that I've done. That to me is what my job is.
My mom's a translator, my dad's a woodworker; that's the world I grew up in, that's the world I'm most comfortable in. The whole idea of Hollywood or any of that other stuff that unfortunately goes along with film, that wasn't part of my upbringing, thankfully.
Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.
As an artist, there's so many categories that you're put into, that there are so many things that I'm about that I've never explored as an artist on film. I don't see myself in so many characters in film.
Every film I do, I'm involved with from the very conception of the project.
Boldness, sensuality and an unapologetic way of showing things, that is part of my films.
My films are always a reflection of where I am in my life.
I was extravagant in the matter of cameras - anything photographic - I had to have the best. But that was to further my work. In most things I have gone along with the plainest - or without.
