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

Anytime you've got something that can take you into the political realm then you've opened up the conversation a lot.

I think that it's fear. The musicians themselves don't seem to know enough about why they're in the positions they're in, so they're afraid to lose those positions. If you're 22 years old and you can't believe you're even in the position to have a career making music, the first thing you're going to think is: Maintain. Don't lose it. And that's precisely what causes you to lose everything.

Making a film that's supposed to be fun to watch is really hard - that's the weird irony of it.

I try to use other songs or bands as reference points - it seems like the easiest way to get across what are really differences of taste or opinion. If you know what kind of music somebody loves, then you can kind of figure out why they do what they do.

I have no shame in making music that maybe, if you listen to it long enough, you'll realize you've heard this or that part of it before. I'm still very excited by an amazingly written song, so that's really the thing that I work on when I make records with people.

You can't change who you are, so I think that the only thing you can do is just never talk to people about stuff and then hope that maybe does something.
