There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.

It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

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 think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves - to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They're testing boundaries, and I think that's healthy.

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

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.
