That's What Thinking Is: Processing.

I've Studied Kabbalah, As You Know, For Many Years, So There Are A Lot Of Things I Do That One Would Associate With Practising Judaism. I Hear The Torah Every Saturday. I Observe Shabbat.

I Like Film Soundtracks. I Like The Soundtracks Better Than The Movies.

I Think For The Most Part Men Have Always Been The Aggressors Sexually. Through Time Immemorial They've Always Been In Control. So I Think Sex Is Equated With Power In A Way, And That's Scary In A Way.

I'd Like To Think I Am Taking People On A Journey; I Am Not Just Entertaining People, But Giving Them Something To Think About When They Leave.

I Wanted To Know Why People Follow Rules Blindly, Or Why Girls Had To Act A Certain Way And Boys Didn't. Why Could Boys Ask Girls Out And Girls Not Ask Guys Out? Why Did Girls Have To Shave Their Legs And Guys Didn't? Why Did Society, Like, Set Everything Up The Way They Did? My Whole Adolescence Was Full Of Unanswered Whys. Because They Never Got Answered, I Just Kept Lighting Fires Everywhere - Metaphorically Speaking.

When You Make A Movie, It Seems Like There's Nothing But Resistance. It's Kind Of A Miracle That Any Movie Ever Gets Made.

It's Not Enough To Raise Awareness. You Have To Give People Solutions, And You Have To Invite Them To Get Involved In Whatever Way They Can, Whether That's Doing Volunteer Work Or Taking A Portion Of Their Salary And Figuring Out Where They Want That Money To Go. You Have To Find Ways To Inspire People To Get Involved.

People Have This Idea That If You're Sexual And Beautiful And Provocative, Then There's Nothing Else You Could Possibly Offer.

There Are Certain Mystical Belief Systems That Believe That Taking Pictures Takes An Aspect Of The Soul, But Beyond That It's Just The Idea That Once You're Captured In A Photograph, Then A Million Presumptions Are Made Of You, And You Are Forever Frozen In That One Moment, And You Are Perceived To Be The Embodiment Of That Moment, And That, Of Course, Is An Illusion.
