The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.

An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.

I go and see anything that's visually new any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different but someone using it will.

I do home schooling. I went to regular school until fifth grade and then I started doing home schooling which it's completely different. I have a teacher on set with me and I just work with her one-on-one.

I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16 at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16 I was in a boarding school-which I believe at that time was compulsory for blind children.

I had a teacher he was 86 years old and his name was Luigi in New York City and he said 'Never stop moving. You get to reinvent yourself.' So you have to find ways to reinventing yourself. Especially today because it's a whole different market - social media is so important.

I used to write things for friends. There was this girl I had a crush on and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way.

My father was a theater director and an acting teacher and it was not uncommon for me to have long discussions about the method and what the various different processes were to finding a character and exploring character and realizing that character.
