For Me, The Music Is Always Like

I Never Start With The Story First, Which Is Maybe Obvious, Because The Narrative Line Of My Films Is Really Not That Strong Or Dramatic. They're Very Simple.

I Realized, "gee, You're Making The Same Film Over And Over Here." I Just Kept Making Them For My Own Amusement, But Also With This Thought In My Head That I Could Collect Enough Songs To Make An Album Out Of It. I Am Attracted To Non-dramatic Moments In Life. The Idea Of A Coffee Break Is Not Something You'd Think Of As Being An Important Part Of Your Day, So These Shorts Were Like Little Free Zones In Which We Could Just Play Around.

[kenneth Koch] Taught Children In Public Schools In New York City To Write Poems And Told Them Down Worry About Rhyming, Don't Worry About Any Of That Stuff. You Know, Write A Poem Where You Mention Three Colors And Make It Five Lines - Or He Would Just Give Them, You Know, Little Strategies. And, Man, They Wrote Some Great Poems.

I Like Actors Who Just Become That Person And Then React, And Adam [driver] Is Completely Reactive In That Way. So Every Day Working With Him Was Really A Pleasure. And He's In Almost Every Scene In The Film, So The Poor Guy Had To Work The - Almost The Entire 30 Days Of Our Film Shoot. But, Yeah, He Was Really A Pleasure, And I Really Love What He - How He Embodied This Character.

I Love Silent Films. The Future Is Unwritten.
