I really love sort of classical cinema where people were telling stories with very little dialogue, and people were using the camera in a really interesting way.

I get very driven by certain themes and ideas.

I'm not trying to be some kind of underground renegade.

They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em.

The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.

I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos.

Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.
