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

Each film is different. Time Code was very quick - a matter of months. Miss Julie has been on my shelf as a script for some seven or eight years. But then the shooting process was very quick - 16 days.

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

I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.

I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.

Films take up so much time, and with theatre, you do have to plan a period of time that you can be free.

Obviously, I try to make the films work for an audience. That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success.
