I probably thought that about most of the things I did. But you wind up in situations where you have to make decisions very quickly, and you just go for it a lot of the time.

I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.

I dove into the craziness and did things that maybe I would think twice about when I get older.

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.
