I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.

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 watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.

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

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 like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.
