I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials

A film set becomes its own family anyway, and all family dynamics come out during a shoot. The trick is hiring people who know how to handle that.

If you don't feel good about something, you don't shake it off easily.

I like to try to keep things as relaxed and easy as possible. I mean, movies generally attract a lot of people who like to cause fires, so they can later try to put them out. But I don't like that kind of thing.

There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.
