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.

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

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.

One of the things I love about cinema is the range.
