When I Do The Music, I Make

I Would Certainly Say That Films Like Time Code And The Loss Of Sexual Innocence Were Far More Rewarding To Me In Terms Of Being Able To Move Forward As A Filmmaker.

Obviously, I Try To Make The Films Work For An Audience. That's The Main Point Of Making A Film, And In Retrospect, One Can See That Certain Films, Let's Say Leaving Las Vegas, Demonstrated Its Own Success.

I Never Had Any Urge Or Desire To Do Like A Big Spectacular Movie With Thousands And Thousands Of Extras. I'd Rather Watch Paint Drying. But Put Me In A Room With Three People Having A Hard Time, Like A Character Situation, And Then You're Into A Really Intense Portraiture Kind Of Concept.

I Had No Plans To Be A Director.

The Power Of Sound To Put An Audience In A Certain Psychological State Is Vastly Undervalued. And The More You Know About Music And Harmony, The More You Can Do With That.
