I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.

I've loved music always, and my music fire was lit by Elvis Presley, really, and all that was happening back then.

I love industry. Pipes. I love fluid and smoke. I love man-made things. I like to see people hard at work, and I like to see sludge and man-made waste.

I just hope that I get a chance to keep making pictures in the atmosphere of freedom to make mistakes, and to find those magical things. Then I don't care what else happens.

When you make your first film, it's really hard in some ways. You're just nowhere. But then you have something. If you have a success, then you might be looking to take a fall. If you had a fall, you get a certain kind of euphoria because you're not dead, so you can still do it again. It's about how you go through the processes. Do you enjoy that "doing"? Is it getting less fun or more fun?

We're like lightbulbs. If bliss starts growing inside you, it's like a light; it affects the environment.

Francis Bacon is one of my giant inspirations. I just love him to pieces.
