I like finding a great shot and then just staying with it for a long time, not trying to pump things up with some kind of artificial energy by cutting.

As much as I love acoustic Neil Young - and I do deeply - I may be more passionate about the electric. Luckily it's not a contest, and we never have to make that choice. But Neil Young on an electric guitar - I feel like I've never seen or heard anything like it.

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

It's such a rich experience when you enter into a subject from a documentary point of view. It's hard for fiction to compete with that.

Nothing beats a live performance. Nothing.

Everything I've made - it doesn't mean they've all been good - but everything I've made so far, big or little, fiction or documentary, has been something that I've been really enthusiastic about.

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