I also feel that the only thing more gratifying than working with someone who you've worked well with is working with someone new and coming up with something great.

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.

I didn't go to film school so my learning was done out in public and showed up on the screen.

If you're doing a music film, you've got to be singing about something.

I've never had a good game plan. At a certain point, making independent films became more and more appealing to me because I like freshness and originality.

I remember the Neil Young brand hitting me very hard immediately. He wasn't an acquired taste. I loved him immediately.

Nothing beats a live performance. Nothing.
