The truth is, writing and directing are two very different jobs. They're not even remotely the same job. It took me a while, as a director, to understand that.

It's so rare that you meet your idols and they outdo your expectations.

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.

This is what I do for fun - brainstorm about monsters!

Some people like when it rains a lot. Some people like sunshine. The idea that there's one, all encompassing afterlife is strange. It doesn't seem to make sense because we're all such different people.

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!

Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.
