thinking people west-coast
No, I don't think about the myth of the West. It's not the kind of thinking I do. That's more suited to people who live in big towns on the West Coast or East Coast, people who stay under a roof, in a room, all the time.
thinking too-much stereotype
I think any stereotyping is too much.
past thinking ideas
My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative.
stupid thinking way
Ethnic stereotypes are boring and stressful and sometimes criminal. It's just not a good way to think. It's non-thinking. It's stupid and destructive.
drama thinking matter
I think that no matter how much you don't like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it.
life
I personally don't live a nihilistic life, I don't have any use for it.
dramatic movements narrative photograph serve stories
I want to photograph what I see and put it in a dramatic context. I'm an actor and a writer, and I want to tell these stories and present these shapes, colors and movements as I see them, as I see them serve a narrative. As I see that narrative serve an audience. That's what I want to do.
home remote town
My home town is very small and very remote and we don't have a movie house.
deem people perfectly pursue willing work
I have nothing against interviews. I don't pursue them. When people I work for deem it appropriate, I'm perfectly willing to serve.
You know, I don't really think you have to play nice guys.
struggling
It's no fun to be a struggling young actor. It's a desperate thing, no way to be happy. If you have any alternative, you should take it.
bad movies
I've made some bad movies. And I really enjoyed it!
country movies
I want to make movies about my country from my point of view.
I haven't had a lot of comedy come my way as a performer.
