"It seems to me that [my films] are talking about very simple and, I hope, universal feelings.

And I like to have this third feeling of mystery."

“I think I can see people wanting to hear more music-music now as opposed to all hip-hop. You know, which I have nothing against hip-hop. I think some of it is really good.
