Death is always around the corner, but often our society gives it inordinate help.

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

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

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

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

I think I've only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.

I dont find myself lobbying for projects. Filmmakers almost always come to me.
