Rap is the only interesting music left - it's the only genre that's still pushing itself, and experimenting in a way that I find exciting.

I just wanted it to be American.

I tried working odd jobs that had nothing to do with creating, and it was difficult for me. In the end, I just always loved movies. When I'm making a film I feel most alive, like I'm doing the right thing, and I'm in the place where I need to be.

I just haven't let myself get to a place where I've felt a part of any kind of a community, so I've always stayed outside of it.

I've never been into alternative, hipster rap music.

For certain things, certain audiences, people will laugh. And in other places, there's dead silence. And I enjoy them both. You try to make films where it's never one way - like life.

I've just always liked watching people dance. I can't explain it. It used to just make me laugh. Sometimes you can tell a lot about a person by the way they shake their ass.
