Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.

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

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

My dad was a great movie companion. He wouldn't diminish 'The Jerk.' If I liked it, he liked it. He could see it through my eyes.

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 think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

Manhattan is so tailored. It's driven by appealing to the very wealthy and tourists.
