"Femme’s just really cool. She has pink hair and makes really clever, intelligent pop music. I’m taking her on tour with me. In this song, which has ’60s element, she strings together incredible words in a talk-rap style. It makes me feel really cool, and I guess that’s why I like it"

"Alec Guinness’s stunning versatility, playing a whole cast’s worth of characters, combined with his comic genius makes this a movie that should be enshrined. Funny how Guinness gets credit in many people’s faulty memories for Dennis Price’s high style performance. Can there be people who’ve never seen this treasure? Even once? How sad."

"My heart explodes every time I watch this film. I love how Hulot interacts with all the frivolous things that collide with him, like an ape in Space Odyssey. Tati’s weird parody of modern technology ends up romanticizing every little object with the slightest touch of his style. Childish, dense, and extremely watchable."

"And then the last one, Rushmore. There’s great performances in it, but Bill Murray, I think, just hung the moon. I just love the style of the piece. It’s so beautifully shot, so funny, so unusual, loopy. I love big, loopy stories that are not neat and tidy. They really appeal to me."
