I think all my movies are about transitions to some degree.

I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

I don't like when you necessarily know that this is the end of the movie. I like when a movie ends abruptly. You go through this, and some of the scenes are uncomfortable, and some are funny - and then suddenly it's over.

I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.

I guess I probably took New York for granted. Growing up, playing in the street, going down to the Avenue to the record store and to the grocery store and stuff like that.

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