I didn't want to do a throwaway, mindless movie with fart jokes just to make 6-year-olds laugh. I want to provide my children with some substance.

There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.

I'm a sensitive guy; I respond to things that make my eyes well up a little bit, or make me root for people. I find the human condition interesting.

I'm the same guy at that podium preaching to the people on every single song. I'm not doing a dance for you on another song. It's all a direct assault.

I love electronic music, and I love drum and bass.

I want to make timeless movies.

I don't think my name would necessarily draw people to come see the movie. It might hurt the movie, honestly.
