In a career, when you hit 40 and you've done a lot of this and that, you want to try some new things. I feel like that as a director, too, from one film to the other.

I love those films where I feel the director's confidence - where he doesn't need to overdo it with the shots and the cuts.

There's a way of filming where you can get rid of the vanity and of trying to make something beautiful.

Just film what's there, trust what came before, one hour before, and make it easy.

When I do a mix tape for my kids, for my friends, for my lover, I meticulously choose the tracks, and it's beautiful. And when they are alone they think of me - and when I am alone I think of them.

I look back, and I've got a couple of films, and I'm happy.
