"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"Having a boy play a girl (and when I say ‘play a girl’ I don’t mean that he is represented as a girl, because he is represented as a young man) is complicated. He knows he’s looking at photographs of a girl and copying those poses. So the audience sees him as a man, but he can only see himself as a woman, because that’s the model he’s looking at. It was a really interesting exchange."
