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.

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

Essentially, I'm, most of all, a writer. So, what makes people tick interests me.

Hollywood desires money but they could not stand the political content.

Music is for theater like theater is for scripts. It's total: it's cyclical.

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.
