I trained in the theatre.

Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.

The individual will to survive is often seen as just that, an individual thing. In fact, it's sort of a gene we all carry and like a network of computers it all contributes in some way to when it's individually needed.

I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes.

I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.

To create the reality of space with this sense of suspension: nothing's happening, it's endless; we're traveling at 28,000 kilometers an hour but nothing's happening. Nothing! And you have to do that! There are all these rules you have to follow, I've never known anything like it.

I don't want to make pompous, serious films.
