Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.

I had piano lessons when I was a kid, like most people. And hated them, like most people. And quit, like most people.

I just love the sheer mess of New York.

Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.

Music is the subliminal connecting adhesive in film, or at least in narrative feature films.

In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.
