A lot of the aspects of the world of the film are amalgams of things that already exist.

We always had the idea that there might be two slightly different versions of the same thing.

When people approach me about my films it is usually to tell me how much they hate them.

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

When you're working with a script and you have three pages for that day, you have to shoot that. It can become sort of like a prison, because by the time you've shot what you need to shoot, you don't really have time to think or shoot anything else.

I think it would be impossible if you had a name like mine not to get a little flack for it.

I don't particularly like the idea that there's an arc to the story and that therefore in this scene you have to convey this bit of information or emotion. I like more the feeling that, of course, there is a shape to the story, but that each scene should feel right, should be true at that moment, and that gradually you accumulate these moments of truth until you get enough of them together that it becomes a story that's interesting.
