When you're working on a script, every word that's on the page, somebody has to read it. Make every word count in your stories.

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

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.

As a kid, a little kid I loved going to the movies, and now I love making movies.

Every film deserves its own unique look.

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.

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