A big part of making an album is that you want to have enough material - you want to have enough stuff for people to hear and know that it represents you. So it does sometimes turn into a situation where you're saying to the person you're working with, "Well, what do you want?" But then there are other times when I work with people and they'll turn to me and say, "How do you want to do this?" And that's actually when I work best.

I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.

Everything is the director's fault - you can quote me on that. There are no excuses.

I like to make all kinds of movies. I'd do 'Ocean's Thirteen' with the right script.

People like Chris Nolan are shooting isolated sequences in IMAX. Those cameras are the size of a Volkswagen.

I want to form a political party that's based entirely on what music people listen to. To me, it's a much better barometer of what they think and feel than their political stance.

I recently decided that I'm not an originator. I'm a synthesist.
