The one thing that a director like Todd Haynes has said about me, is that I don't fall back on one style. That I try to reinterpret the imagery through the storytelling, through the script of what makes that script unique in itself. And I think that partly comes out of art school because I studied different forms, and thinking about how different movements in the art world created whatever they did. And so I understood that, or tried to understand that images are created out of a certain political, social, and even economic means. So for me, what's fun is how I reinvest my ideas through the script, or through the storytelling, to try and find its own language.[2013]
