I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.
I've always had a fascination about mixing music. So I downloaded an application and started messing around with it, and it just built up from there.
I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends.
Ramones music has a Pavlovian effect on me - the song starts, and the world blurs around the sound.
It's a big plethora of music floating around in my head all the time, and I'll sit there and write a song.

Before I did any action movies, I did a couple of thrillers. That's hung around for me.
Jesus is a half-naked guy, hanging, nailed to a cross, and then people wear that around their neck, and then those are the people that are upset about violence in movies.
One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.
Jim: [walking around deserted London] Hello?
Manuela: I'm not a whore. I've been fucked around a lot, but I'm not a whore.
Cable television and the Internet have created an unending demand for information, and there simply isn't enough truth to go around.
Vampires are total sexual metaphors; there's just no way around that.
In difficult times, it's so hard to look around and to see what to be grateful for.
