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

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.

Every film deserves its own unique look.

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

I had very strong feelings, so the chance to make a film that deals in an imaginative way with stuff you care tremendously about is a real high. It's a really amazing thing to be able to do.

I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
