"Paul Thomas Anderson made a movie about the porn industry that feels smart and unique and appeals to all audiences, whether it be the toughest film critics or people who just want to go to the movies to be entertained. There’s so many great scenes in the movie, like Alfred Molina and the fire poppers. I just love this whole movie."

"This one scares people. I’m obviously attracted to covers that are a little art-damaged. It feels like something Grace Jones or Nina Hagen would’ve done. Maybe she was reacting to how glamorous she looked on her previous album, Post. I think it’s totally bold and sets a standard for everybody else. One of the best covers of the last decade."

"The moment this song starts, it feels iconic—nothing else sounds like it. It’s one of those songs that reflects the past, but sounds like the future. Is it possible to say it sounds new and old at the same time? Basically, ’Money’ is timeless. The song has this very stupid, dumb quality about it, and I think it’s so hooky"

"“It’s an amazing book but as a music fan, and as a guy, it feels so tailored to me and anyone like me. It’s about a guy who’s searching for relationships and understanding himself. It’s about music and passion for music, and there’s all sorts of wonderful references throughout. It seems like a book so perfectly suited to me as a person.”"

"“It’s by far my favourite film and so different to anything I’ve seen before. It feels like an artform in itself. I think I could just watch that movie and no other for the rest of my life and not feel as though I’d missed anything. It’s basically three men walking around a field. That’s all it is, yet it’s utterly mind- blowing.”"

"A film that continues to grow in my estimation every time I see it, and one that laid the bedrock for the Fellini explosion that was about to take place. So alive and spilling over with character and incident, it feels like a peek into the filmmaker’s own diary. It also features an amazing Nino Rota score and performances to die for."

"I only saw this a few years ago, and I think it’s become my favorite of the French New Wave. I think it’s virtually impossible to make a film about complex ideas and yet at the same time make it feel as light as air. It’s a thrilling film that feels very much of its period but also completely timeless."
