I know a lot about a few things - mostly useless things.

I know what I like, and I'm not trying to adapt to new things.

I don't like doing most things unless I can do them quite well.

Everybody is great when things are great. It's the 'not great' stuff that matters.

I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.

Everything I've made - it doesn't mean they've all been good - but everything I've made so far, big or little, fiction or documentary, has been something that I've been really enthusiastic about.

I'm good at many, many things, but the one thing I've never been good at is relationships.

I really like to go for the essence of things - the most beautiful parts of things - of human beings or of music. If there are things in there that are getting in the way and complicating it, it's just not good for me.

The only thing I'm really, truly good at is music - I just love it.
