I'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice.

In making a record there are so fewer people involved - at least in our case. There were no more than three or four people in the studio at once. So I really feel like I can stand by everything on the record and say this is something that I personally endorse.

I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.

I need a coffee to go with my coffee.

I don't like plain nails. I get sad.

Making movies, you're like an independent contractor - you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.

In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.
