I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.

I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

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

I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.

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.
