Film Courage: What do you think of artists who wait for other people to teach them how to be an artist?
Sophia Cacciola, Cinematographer, Actor, Musician, Director:
I don’t think you should wait for anything. I’ve always had a strong sense that I had something to say even as a little kid. I don’t know if it was because I was the youngest of four but I was Everybody listen to me. I started writing songs very young, I was like I can do this and I just have always barged into situations where I want to paint or I want to draw or I want to sing and made it happen. When it came to creativity, people are always Well, what’s the difference between doing music or film? There is no difference to me creatively, it’s just how I’m saying it and it’s never been about I need to learn something first, it’s I’ll learn as I go. I think that has made it so I actually have output because if you wait around to know everything, you’re never going to release anything. Only once you release something, you learn what you can do better next time.
Film Courage: Why don’t you like to wait?
Sophia: I don’t know if it’s just I’m an impatient person? I’ve just never depended on anybody to show me the right way to do something. It’s just I’m ready to barge in, always jump in feet first and then see what the consequences are.
Film Courage: You’re a fast learner?
Sophia: Yeah.
Film Courage: I think fast learners…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
