My favorite favorites are people like Bunuel, Fellini and Charlie Chaplin.

Coppola has problems getting financing, so why should I not have problems getting financing.

I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos.

I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you.

I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.

I actually did use to sell shoes.

I get very driven by certain themes and ideas.
