Music Is A Big Factor In Helping

When I Was Going For My Graduate Degree, I Decided I Was Going To Make A Feature Film As My Thesis. That's What I Was Famous For-that I Had My Thesis Film Be A Feature Film, Which Was 'you're A Big Boy Now.'

All Of A Sudden, There Are Great Japanese Films, Or Great Italian Films, Or Great Australian Films. It's Usually Because There Are A Number Of People That Cross-pollinated Each Other.

In America, Even The Critics - Which Is A Pity - Tend To Genre-ize Things. They Have A Hard Time When Genres Get Mixed. They Want To Categorize Things. That's Why I Love Wes Anderson's Films And The Coen Brothers, Because You Don't Know What You're Going To Get, And Very Often You Get Something That You Don't Expect And That's Just What A Genre's Not Supposed To Do.

I Never Went To A Psychologist Or Psychiatrist In My Life. Never. You Know, Italians Are A Little Prejudiced Against That Kind Of Thing.

I Just Admire People Like Woody Allen, Who Every Year Writes An Original Screenplay. It's Astonishing. I Always Wished That I Could Do That.
