You can’t really control how people hear stuff. It’s hard to remember that. I have to let go of it.

I think a lot of good directors listen to music while they’re working. The songs just don’t become a part of the film. They’re replaced.

When someone really goes to tell you something about what they’re thinking, they’re going to wear that experience with them. That’s what you have to share.
