“It’s a surreal experience.”

I would come to L.A. for a job, but I love New York.

For everything Obama stands for and the things he’s said in the past in his books, especially with the Trayvon Martin thing

So you do things to make them proud and accept you.

And you don’t want them to look at you in a negative light.

I just find it hard to believe that anyone would stop me to share how much they loved something that I was a part of.

My intention is to do more films.

I had to say something. Kelly’s nomination would go against who President Obama is.

I assume Obama knows about stop and frisk, so this is not the person that should be the head of homeland security.

I was going to go to med school. My father’s dream was that all of his kids become doctors.

You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you,

Life is too short to do something you don’t want to do.

I’m in awe of how grounded Ms. Tyson is and how her performances can be different but the same.

That’s what you want art to do, to open people up and start conversations.

That’s how clueless I was. I just thought I could show up.

I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.

This cross-section of people they just happen to bring in to decide the fate of mankind on television is really scary.

It’s the ones that deal with the inner fear, the unknown realms and the mysticisms that are scary.

That’s the really scary thing, not the slasher, macabre movies.

We all had to learn how to do it. So it’s just something creative people need to get familiar with… not really so scary.

I suffer from and enjoy an incredibly vivid dream life. A lot of times there is a sort-of narrative and other times they are just funhouses of non-linear imagery and other scary stuff.

If we’re going to be considered horror filmmakers, we have to prove it not only to ourselves, but to the audience that we can actually make something scary.

“Firewall” seems both scary and protective at the same time. And how often does that happen within one word besides “military” and “government?”
