When I'm in London, Claridge's is a great favourite. I'm a big fan of art deco architecture and the rooms are extraordinary.

I really value distinctive movies, movies that feel that they came from a person that was really something that they had conceived and they made and is a reflection of who they are.

I grew up in San Francisco and moved to L.A. about 20 years ago, and now my main home is in Hollywood.

A movie that I'm involved with and have a lot of love for, which is On The Road, does use a lot of handheld. It can be done beautifully. I'm proud of that. It's a very beautiful movie.

As a director myself, you really appreciate collaborating with people who are trying to help you find what you need and what you want.

Movies are very expensive endeavors, and my first film was not particularly a money-maker. Quite the opposite.

I would like to do more feature work. I intend to do that. To be really honest, it's an economic thing because when you make a film that doesn't make what it cost back, it's very difficult to get back in the ring.
