My father was not really into popular music; I had to learn about that for myself.
At the end of the '90s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America.
Sigur Ros make beautiful music. Bloc Party are fantastic and exciting and innovative.
I grew up to the sound of live music in our Brooklyn household.
Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
We're also passionate about music and very critical about the music that we listen to.
My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.
I've always loved music. I listen to music the way a lot of actors watch movies.
I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music.
But this music. This music has limbs that can hold me into morning.
I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.
Thy soul is by vile fear assailed
I remember being fascinated by the very nature of comedy from the age of 10; why is this funny, and that isn't?
One of the interesting things about comedy is it's tension release, and nothing creates tension faster than anger.
Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.
Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
Comedy fans are the best fans. They embrace and support you doing low-budget work and will follow you to the end of the earth!
I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But they're also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.
My father is best known for his light comedies, and I'm best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.
My first two novels were very black comedies.
I've played comedy before but not that much. I mostly do get drawn to darker material.
