I'm passionate about music, food, books, film, blah, blah. The same things everyone is passionate about, no? Love, sex, connection. Peace. Not f - - g up our planet.

I like shooting things in single takes. You have to rely on the idea itself to carry the full weight; you're always watching the idea, not the filmmaking.

My best ideas almost always come from winding up in unexpected places and stumbling across things I never could have imagined in advance.

It's the good old paradox of democracy. We are individually pretty small drops in the bucket, but collectively we are all powerful.

Everyone loves the idea of internet fast enough that HD movies download in seconds, but if only the telecoms or their partners get to use the high speeds, it's not the internet: It's glorified cable.

Actually, here is something I'm passionate about that, looking around me, seems like the world at large must not care about as much as I do: craft.

I think that artists and musicians can do as much harm as good for causes if they tie their names to lots of things, especially if they aren't really doing much to meaningfully push their causes forward.
