Man's fear of sexuality is the basis of all horror from the male perspective.

It was a very comfortable and personal relationship [Cliff Martinez ].'The Neon Demon'is our third movie and the music has never been as important as for this movie.

I'm a fetishist. I make films based on what I would like to see.

Like all art forms, film is a media as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; the only difference is that war destroys and film inspires.

I am not a fan of improvisation, because it bores me. Working off a tight scenario gives you the confidence and ability to - why don't we change this a little bit and bring it back to the script. You always discover things while shooting.

The older you are, the further down the crash is going to be. But if it works out, the higher the high.
