I Prefer To Be Subcultural

I Love Variation In All Forms: In Painting, In Music.

I Even Think The Commercial Element Of New American Directors Is Really Fertile Right Now. There Are A Lot Of Filmmakers With Very Particular Visions, Like Sofia Coppola And Wes Anderson And P.t. Anderson And Alexander Payne And Peter Sollett And Harmony Korine And Vincent Gallo. At Least They're Making Films That They Choose To Make, And They're On Their Own. That's Positive To Me. This Is Not A Dead Period For American Cinema At All.

I Prefer To Be Subcultural Rather Than Mass-cultural. I'm Not Interested In Hitting The Vein Of The Mainstream.

Consequently, I Get Inspiration From All Over The Place. But It's Not Like A Calculated Thing On My Part, Or A Way That I See Myself, You Know? I'm Just Interested In Things That Move Me, And I Don't Care Where They Come From. In Fact, I'm Interested If They Come From A Place I Wouldn't Expect, Or Would Seem Foreign To Me On Some Level.

Select Only Things To Steal From That Speak Directly To Your Soul.
