What I like most about directing is creating a world more so than anything. To me, the music is the wrapping paper on that world.

I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.

I really cite Walt Disney as teaching me everything I know. It sounds crazy, but I'm serious! In 'Bambi,' the mother dies, but you don't see the corpse. You see the father, the stag, come up and you see 'Bambi' alone, and that has so much more impact than seeing a mutilated deer.

I think it's perfectly acceptable and rather admirable to be moderately delusional

Cargo pants freak me out. Too many pockets. I always forget where my wallet is.

Take criticism, smash it into dust. Add color and use it to paint breathtaking images of unicorns frolicking through endless fields of greatness.

France has given us the best filmmakers and food.
