A Quote by Stephanie Sigman
I enjoy talking to people about what I do - about films, music, directors, and art. It's very strange, having to talk about yourself.

I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists.

In the earlier days, people used to be very emotional about making films. There used to be a great friendship between music directors and directors; today that is missing.
I don't come from a film background. I haven't learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession.

My job is art curator, not artist. All I have ever wanted to do is immerse myself in art, to enjoy it, to learn about it, to write about it, to talk to others about it.

I think, at some level, we see young people all over the country mobilizing around different issues, in which they're doing something that I haven't seen for a long time.

If something was bugging you, you talk about it. But that's the cool thing: we [My Chemical Romance] don't bug each other. We just have deep discussions about art and music like friends.
