I very much enjoy my freedom creatively but I also would love to make one of those big Hollywood films that costs a lot of money and has a lot of people running around with cell phones and all that insanity.

Everything we do is about the emotion of the characters. We believe the better the emotion, the better the movie.

We live in a beauty-obsessed culture, which on one hand is absolutely fabulous, but on the flip side, is also dangerously extreme.

The thing with Ryan, you can look at him for hours. Very few actors have that. It's a gift.

The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.

Sometimes I just play the theme from Arthur. It reminds me of my childhood in New York and I just love it.

I consider it a great honour that my movie Drive inspired so many wonderful artists to come together and create one ultra-cool glam experience.
