I've been lucky to be able to work with great people and on interesting material.

I'm actually embarrassed to tell people I'm Russian these days, because it's become such an awful place.

And also, that's the kind of wonderful thing about film culture, is the interaction between films and who works on what, where they were before, and now what they're doing now, and that inevitably informs how people view a film.

If you want to make movies you need to think on a micro-micro level and figure out how to make them for nothing with people who really care about your movie and really want to make it.

I've been really interested in focusing on the aspects of my Russian heritage I'm proud of. I'm actually embarrassed to tell people I'm Russian, because it's become such an awful place.

There's only a handful of people I trust completely, and I know who they are. Other than that, I pretty much don't trust people.

Russia itself is an extremely complex country, and sometimes I feel like all of that comes back to haunt me. I can see why so many Russian writers were so tortured.

I don't feel any connection to Russia.
teenager crazy moving
Teenagers are like atoms when they're moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other. Everybody's got such a crazy hormonal drive and reacting to each other differently and getting upset over little things. High school puts all these potential explosions in one place.
