I never cared about making one coherent masterpiece with a conventional narrative. I always wanted my movies to have images falling from all directions in a vaudevillian way. If you didn't like what was happening in one scene, you could just snooze through it until the next scene. That was the thing about vaudeville: You didn't have to worry about the beginning and ends of these things.

What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.

Gucci Mane is trap rap's Frank Sinatra.

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 never cared so much about making perfect sense. I wanted to make perfect nonsense.

For me, making a movie is kind of like vomiting. Not that film is like vomit, but more like this mass of ideas and thoughts that you have and just have to put them out there. It's not even about making perfect sense - it's more about making perfect nonsense. I don't do too much soul-searching or self-analysis. I just enjoy making things.

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.
