I'm thinking of remaking 'Psycho' again. Doing a third remake. The idea this time is to really change it - we're talking about doing a punk rocker setting.

There's a lot of films that have relatively rigid road maps because they have a script and others that are less rigid because they have less of a script, like 'Elephant.' The road map becomes more interpretive, maybe, than one with a detailed script. Editing-wise, they all have their problems.

When you get to be 23, 24 or 25, you start to freeze up and become an adult.

If you don't have the story and the unfolding of the trajectory of the saga, it's like getting in a car and not having any gas.

Free time keeps me going. It's just something that's always been a part of my life. I was originally a painter, and I made films sort of as an extension of that, and then I started to try to make dramatic films because the early films were experimental films.

As I do with most films, I try and find some music that you could use throughout, not just a sampling of lots of different artists.

My department is to get actors to do stuff.
