"I like Foals. They're a strange band I don't quite know what their influences are. The whole concept of influences is a slightly dull concept, it's one of those things that uninspired interviewers always ask. Their influence thing is really fascinating though. Their guitar playing sounds like Femi Cuti or something like that but obviously with an alternative structure to the song. Yeah, I love the Foals, they're great"

"I got into them when I was maybe like 14 or 15 or something like that. Which was also the time that that movie Pump Up The Volume came out and they did that really slow version of 'Wave Of Mutilation', which I really liked. It was around the time that I was getting into punk, and indie and alternative… things. Why do I like it? Well it's a good record."

"At the time the film first played theatrically in the U.S., I was invited to a private screening of the five-hour television version. As one who’s addicted to marriage, it was a devastating experience. The final segment in particular made an indelible impression, and I’ve watched it many times. My only regret is that Criterion didn’t include the alternative dubbed soundtrack, on which Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson re-create their performances in English."
