I think it's that thing of growing up all the time watching American movies and listening to American music. It hits you in a way that's a lot purer because you are not in that culture that you're watching.

I never felt like someone who was boyish and coming to terms with asking girls out or anything like that, which was what 'The Big Steal' and 'Spotswood' were about. But I guess that's the impression I left on people.

I like to call up ghosts of things past for myself when I'm working a lot.

I've spent various periods of my career being thought of as various things, various degrees of substance and ideas.
