There's nothing I've done which I'm ashamed of or I thought was actually bad.

In discussing the process with the actors, I made it clear to them that they could improvise but that the sum total of their improvisation needed to impart certain plot points, and schematic material.

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.

I had no plans to be a director.

I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.

I would certainly say that films like Time Code and the Loss of Sexual Innocence were far more rewarding to me in terms of being able to move forward as a filmmaker.

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