I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.

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.

I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.

I think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves - to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They're testing boundaries, and I think that's healthy.

I think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it's your friend.

I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

I think all my movies are about transitions to some degree.

I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.

I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.
