Music is like color or acting or whatever. It's really something I think about from the beginning. Not that I always know exactly what I'm going to use, but I don't see it as something like, Let's find some songs now! after we have a finished film.

When I make a movie, I have both a specific and vague, amorphous dream idea of what the movie is going to be. Of course, I don't actually know what it's going to be, but I'm still striving to get to some place with it.

I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.

Nothing that I've turned down do I feel like I should have done. Because I've generated everything I've done, I've never really considered doing something that I haven't originated myself. There are definitely things that I've been brought that someone else made good movies out of. But it's not a path I've followed, so I don't have regret.

I really like my first movie a lot, Kicking and Screaming. I think it's a - I'm very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn't the - it wasn't Citizen Kane right out of the box, you know? It wasn't Sex, Lies and Videotape.
