It was really hard to find another project after my first film.

I would rather do really good French films than 'American Pie.'

It's physically and psychologically exhausting to make a film.

You have to draw on your unconscious when you make a film - you can't worry about whether it's costing a lot of money.

I know that one day I would love to do a musical.

Music is one of the important things for me in cinema.

I'm an absolute fan of 1970s New York in films like 'Mean Streets' and 'Dog Day Afternoon.
