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.

Music or sound in a film is a character as important as another character.

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

Normally, if I'm being acknowledged it is for something in front of the camera. This puts the spotlight on the fact that there are opportunities other than just being an actor.

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

I can't read or write music. When I want to remember something, I try to remember all the keys on the piano. Which is what I still do. I put the numbers on the keys. And that's got to become music again.

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