I was a sort of rock journalist - whatever that is - in London in the late '60s.

I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.

Music films are great, but they can never compete with a live performance. Live music is what it is. It's the whole point. You experience it in the moment.

I'm of Neil Young's generation. Neil Young's songs have spoken to what it's like to be at least a white male of his generation over the years. Endlessly, he's sung about the stuff that I really care about. He's put into words the feelings that hit you at different transitional moments in life.

A trilogy is a pretty abstract notion. You can apply it to almost any three things.

Nothing beats a live performance. Nothing.

I love doing fiction. I love doing performance films and I love doing documentaries that don't have music. I love to shoot and I love to shoot things I'm enthusiastic about.
