When I Get Depressed, Or Anything, I

As Soon As You Start Making A Film That's Expensive Then The Studio Wants Total Control Over All Elements Of It Because They Want To Get All Their Money Back. If You Make A Smaller Film You Can Try A Lot More Things Because You Can Have Control Over It And Not Just Be A Hired Director. The Lower The Budget The More Freedom You Have.

Stupid F***ing White Man.

I Know From The Past, Critics Often Say My Films Don't Have Any Plot, That Kind Of Thing. I'm Used To Being Told, "yeah, It's Slow And Has No Plot."

Music, To Me, Is The Most Beautiful Form, And I Love Film Because Film Is Very Related To Music. It Moves By You In Its Own Rhythm. It's Not Like Reading A Book Or Looking At A Painting. It Gives You Its Own Time Frame, Like Music, So They Are Very Connected For Me. But Music To Me Is The Biggest Inspiration. When I Get Depressed, Or Anything, I Go "think Of All The Music I Haven't Even Heard Yet!" So, It's The One Thing. Imagine The World Without Music. Man, Just Hand Me A Gun, Will You?

I Love John Ashbery. He's The - Really The Poet Laureate Of English Language Poetry, Whether He's Given That Or Not, He Is To Me.
