I've spent my life hearing people trying to apologize for music.

I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.

The power of sound to put an audience in a certain psychological state is vastly undervalued. And the more you know about music and harmony, the more you can do with that.

I had no plans to be a director.

I've held onto little musical sketches that I thought could be useful, and the more time that I spend doing them for each film, then the more I have to draw on.

Then I became interested in drama, and almost by accident, I drifted into film.

I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.
