I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

I guess when I think about it, one of the things I like to dramatise, and what is sometimes funny, is someone coming unglued. I don't consider myself someone who is making the argument that I support these choices. I just think it can be funny.

Some of the ideas are kind of inspired by the songs, and I always want to use music to tell the story and give the movie a certain kind of mood. That's always essential to me.

I didn't think so much of him at first. But now I get it: he's everything that I'm not.

I don't really look for challenges as much as I like adventures. Other than that I'm just trying to find stories I want to tell.

Usually when I'm making a movie, what I have in mind first, for the visuals, is how we can stage the scenes to bring them more to life in the most interesting way, and then how we can make a world for the story that the audience hasn't quite been in before.

With each movie I have a different set of inspirations.
