I actually think in music, learning technical stuff doesn't matter. You can be as technical as you like, but still sound awful.

The one thing I do find about serious reviews is that usually they tend to have a point, and that's what I find hurt so much about discerning critics. If the reviews hurt they're probably right on some level.

I wouldn't even say "Imagine" is political. I think it's…more just sort of declaration of humanity. I don't find his political songs to be the ones that I go home and listen to. And I would say that of any artist. They're not the ones that interest…

Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art - it's a fun group activity.

I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.

If you give people more perspective of one object, they start to see it more clearly.
