Music is such an odd thing when you think about it - behind an image until you take it away, and then you realize a movie sounds blank without it.

Now, it's almost impossible to go out and do a film about a new form of music.

I don't feel comfortable making empty music.

I think, for me anyway, music and film is where you can really transport yourself to another universe.

When I started out, I preferred to watch my films without music, as its presence tends to mask the underlying pace of the film. I felt I could feel the rhythm of the film better without music to influence me.

I'm trying to learn to really use space. My philosophy is that every time you interrupt space in a very confident, secure manner, then music happens.

I've done a lot of movies that don't have any music in them, and I've always sort of had a kind of wary attitude about music because it can be so manipulative, and also because with pop music, I feel like everybody kind of has their own relationship to songs.

I've always wanted to do a space movie.

I'd like to convince you that the universe has a soundtrack and that soundtrack is played on space itself, because space can wobble like a drum.

There's just certain things you don't think about to enjoy a film. Bullets in space are one of them.
