But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.

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.

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

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

The function of camera movement is to assist the storytelling. That's all it is. It cannot be there just to demonstrate itself.
