I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

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

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.

I don't agree with the idea that my characters are unlikeable.

A lot of black-and-white films generally have a color version that will be used for TV.

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.

You can be aware that something is idiosyncratic, and give it to a character, but keep doing it.
