The world wants to define me by my mammary glands and melanin. It is just fascinating that Michael Mann has never been asked what it is like to be a white male filmmaker.

I'm an audience member first. My inspiration is still based on hunger. Often, when people try to tell me "nobody wants that story; I'm like bullshit because I want it."

There's a whole kind of melancholy that you can only attain with reverb. That's an example of a technology introducing a whole new meaning.

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.
