If you make a film set in London or in Pakistan or wherever, the thing that interests me is the relationships between individuals - individuals and society, individuals and their family, their girlfriend or boyfriend, it's all the same idea.

When you start being enthusiastic about whatever it is you like, that is the golden age for you.

There's still a 1950s view of cinema, that there's one audience and they all want to see the same thing.

There's a lot of ridiculous hypocrisy about sex in films today. And that's one of the reasons why I made 9 Songs, to say, "Why can't you put sex in a film?"

I'm a fan of music from all over the world.
