The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.

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

I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.

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

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

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

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.
