Dance is a profession with an expiration date for many people.

I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we're shooting, and that's always a challenge because unfortunately people on the street don't know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.

I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.

Music is like color or acting or whatever. It's really something I think about from the beginning. Not that I always know exactly what I'm going to use, but I don't see it as something like, "Let's find some songs now!" after we have a finished film.

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

I didn't train in directing; I talk to actors the way I talk to anybody.

We expect forty-year-olds to have grown up at some point, and to be engaged and adult and take responsibility, and doing nothing would seem to go against that.
