You can define everything as being political and analyze it politically.

I know from the past, critics often say my films don't have any plot, that kind of thing. I'm used to being told, "Yeah, it's slow and has no plot."

Each one of us is a set of shifting molecules, spinning in ecstasy.

I love variation in all forms: in painting, in music.

I like actors who just become that person and then react, and Adam [Driver] is completely reactive in that way. So every day working with him was really a pleasure. And he's in almost every scene in the film, so the poor guy had to work the - almost the entire 30 days of our film shoot. But, yeah, he was really a pleasure, and I really love what he - how he embodied this character.

[Iggi Pop] is very self-taught, self-educated, but, man, that guy knows about so many things.
