"Sometimes you have only thirty seconds of screen time to create a world that can be read easily by the audience so that they can see who this person is supposed to be, and you may never go back there again."
"In a film, you're really struggling to create character, and that's one of the priorities. In a home, you don't need to do that as much, but when you can get to who your clients are and start to help them find things to collect that express that, I think that's where some of my prior work really informs my current interior design work."
-- Lydia Marks on After the Jump
