"I love the songs on it and I love Karl Wallinger's singing. I fell in love with it cause he sorta took all the influences that he loves from the sixties and seventies - I guess from The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan - and somehow he made it into his own style. I don't think anybody really heard this album in the States, I don't think it had any commercial success at all. It's a great record. It’s a record I played to death and it still sounds as good now as when it came out."

"You can adore this book for multiple reasons. The story, the style, the craft… There are no heroes here, just human beings, with all their flaws and failures. Although it is a book about a certain place and a time, and the dark side of the American Dream, it equally feels timeless and placeless, such is its universal appeal. The Great Gatsby is not a story you can read once and put aside, it is a book that deserves to be reread at different stages of life—a companion rather than a classic."

"It’s such a beautiful cinematic poem, I suppose. When I did Push in Hong Kong, it was a great pleasure to be able to shoot the film almost in the style of Wong Kar-Wai — just with him in mind, you know. Beautiful light, reds and greens. I actually stayed in one of the apartments in Hong Kong that he designed, which was nice. Lots of wallpaper. As a movie, you’re just so compelled by these two characters, and he only shows glimpses of them, yet they’re so compelling — which is a feat in itself."
