I do feel there's certainly some films where you can feel that the directors don't care about the genre and they don't care about their characters.

I just go with what excites me.

I happen to like things that are funny and dramatic at the same time. I don't see the difference.

We've always been a band who's taken forever to do things. After writing 'Persona' I think we wrote about four songs in three years!

Ive found that if you just try to make the film you want, youll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, youre going to make really boring films.

That's kind of how I've based my career. I find talented people and beg me to let me work with them.

What I'm looking for in my career, you know? You're looking for those lightning bolts of inspiration where someone says something that sparks an idea or suggests something strange.
