About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs.

I don't think I've ever had a plan or direction for myself. I've actually made decisions based more on what I didn't want to do than what I wanted to do.

I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.

I always find it flattering when somebody recognizes me.

My own personal taste in films as a member of the audience was not completely in line with films I was doing.

The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I'm not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.
