Q: Do you like horror films in general? My dad is a big horror fan. So I grew up watching movies with him. Q: What kind of movies stand out? You have “The Shining”, “Nightmare on Elm Street”, “Rosemary’s Baby”, “The Exorcist” , Jordan Peele’s “Us” – I love those. “Silence of the Lambs”, the list is endless, anything by John Carpenter. Q: The movie also mirrors some sort of the end of the world vibe. Do you share such feelings that seem quite common in the younger generation? I don’t know. Q: Are you an optimist? I see things always with a glass half full. Q: Have you always had this point-of-view or did you train yourself to see things like this? It’s important to share happiness and try and make everybody’s days a little bit better. Q: What has made you happy today? I had a really good oatmeal raisin cookie this morning that made me happy. Q: Your life is being judged and under observation… How are you dealing with being propelled into the spotlight? I just have to keep being myself, that’s it. Q: Is it hard? No. I am just me. Q: Are having an opinion about you – for example when you did the Rolling Stones video, whereas you said you felt empowered. Does it feel silly having people judging you? I can’t control what people think, what people say, what people write about me. So I just keep doing what I like to do and finding things that excite me, make me feel good and challenge me in new ways. It starts a conversation, that’s social media. Q: In what ways has making “Immaculate” helped you to grow as a person and contributed to your personal development? I have learned so much. It was like my first baby in a sense of being able to go after a script, put an entire team together, go into production and learn the entire mechanics of making a film from the ground up. It was a great 1on1 class of moviemaking.
