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.

When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer.

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

I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.

I made my first film on 16mm. Then I began using 35mm.Then I began working in Hollywood. And I began to really understand how films were made by professionals. I have to say I wasn't very impressed.

I might have a guitar or a piano on set to play something for the actors.

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