I used to feel like my face was strange looking. I would stare at it in the mirror and not recognize myself. I used to wish I looked different in every way. Growing up Brazilian we all look so different but still, I wished I looked like my white mother. I hated so much that I had my dad's native dark hair and eyes. I would tell my mom she doesn't understand my insecurities because she was beautiful. The amount of self hate was so deep rooted. Now I look at myself and I see so much beauty. The light the shines from deep within, I see that I was made in his image. I see the love that I feel for everyone and how much I really want the best for everyone. It's one of the things I most admire about myself. I see the dark hair and thick eyebrows and the pointy mouth and I love myself. Filter or no filter they're both me tho

"There is a compromise made if you work on a commercial film and the compromise isn’t how or what you do, the techniques you use, or even the content, but really the compromise is beginning to feel a lack of confidence in your innermost thoughts. And if you don’t put those innermost thoughts on screen then you are looking down not only on your audience but the people you work with. And that’s what makes so many people working out there unhappy. They say: ‘Well, I’ll make a lot of money and then I’ll come back and do this later on.’ The truth of the matter is, of course, that they never do. These innermost thoughts become less and less a part of you, and once you lose them you don’t have anything else. I don’t think anyone does it purposely. It’s just that a lot of people are not aware of losing those things. I found myself losing them too, and the suddenly I woke up by accident, by sheer accident of not getting along with something, with something inside."
