Directors love to do music, they've been doing that all along.

Worry is a funky luxury when a lot has to be done.

I make a film like I cook for friends. I hope they like it, but if they don't, I'm prepared to enjoy it all by myself.

I don't consider myself a sociologist, I consider myself a filmmaker, among other things. Maybe an asshole but a filmmaker.

I was a trader for a company. That's different from the brokers who we sort of disdain as sort of just errand boys.

I'm not a cinematic cinematic person. I go to the movies like I did back when I was a kid. I go to the movies and I sit down. If the music works, hmm. If it doesn't work, hmm. The whole concept of the thing, not as one piece here or there. For me, music is a large part.

I really like to talk to people and to get their take on things.
