'The Nature of Jade' is about a girl who works with the elephants at the zoo near her home, and who, through her involvement with them, becomes involved with a boy and his baby.

I long for books; I am utterly greedy about them.

My most memorable teacher was Rich Campe, my third-grade teacher at Fairlands Elementary in Pleasanton, California.

I love the character of Jaime Lannister. He's just so complex - a character that we love to hate - but it's a lot more complex than hatred. It starts off, and he seems so arrogant and so smug.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
