„This is important for me because I’m an immigrant, and, coming to America, I had a dream. Dude’s like, “But you don’t know how to speak English.” And I would say, “Je parle français,” I spoke French, I spoke Creole. My English was terrible. My English was terrible. But when I did an album called The Carnival, I defied language. So this album had English, French, Creole, Spanish. Because what I learned from this story was that what’s bigger than language is cultural vibration.”

„ …I’m excited to be here in the Criterion Closet. I believe I’ve bought about 80% of these already and have watched 3% of those. I do that with books too.”
„Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Cameron Crowe, Amy Heckerling. I feel like everything I’ve ever done is deeply influenced by this movie, because it was really funny and very real and stands the test of time. Judge Reinhold forever.
Defending Your Life, director-approved edition. Albert Brooks. Is there a comedy better than this? I don’t think so. This is as good as you can get.”

„Chantal Akerman. I just feel this is an enormous piece missing out of…out of everything I should have seen in my life. These amazing faces. You just want to watch them. And they’re sort of transparent and you can see thoughts sort of passing through these faces, which I find…which is something I really yearn for when I’m watching something or when I’m even performing with someone or filming someone, as I’ve had the privilege to do. This cascade of…of the realization of something coming through someone’s face, that is a gift.”

„Let’s talk about PlayTime. He’d done these successful, I think, very successful comedies using…where he invented this character, Monsieur Hulot, played by him, a kind of very ordinary French man with a little hat and a pipe. It’s really droll. There’s no out-and-out jokes. Everything is, again, him observing the modern world, its kind of somewhat inhumanity and ridiculousness. Anyway, great film.”
„This is a film by a Georgian filmmaker. His name’s Szergej Paradzsanov. And it’s called The Color of Pomegranates. It challenges your idea of what a film can be. Images and ritual and processions and costumes and everything. It’s fairly surreal, but if you’re okay just letting go and going with this thing and being…immersing yourself in another world, it’s pretty good that way.”

“The greatest location is the human face.”
„Samuel Fuller’s a hero to me.”
„Now, going back to William Friedkin’s “the greatest location is the human face,” this is something that Pier Paolo Pasolini understood.”

„I always enjoy watching Moonstruck, no matter what. It’s just a great little old movie for any time of day and night to watch with anyone and everyone, and it’s an upper.”

„Band of Outsiders. This is a film by Jean-Luc Godard, who most people know of his great classic, Breathless, which I adore and love, but many people don’t know Band of Outsiders. And there’s a scene in this that is just incredible. And it’s a group, the outsiders, and they’re doing a dance called the Madison, and there’s a scene where they’re all…and…it’s just unbelievable, worth the price of admission alone.”
„If I was to take one movie to say, which is on the top of the mountain, I would have to say it’s Kuroszava Akira’s Seven Samurai.”

„There’s a certain group of movies that I’ve watched, like, a hundred times. And Punch-Drunk Love is on that list.”
„Do you guys have All That Jazz? This is actually my favorite movie of all time. Bob Fosse. I think this is the greatest movie ever made. People always ask, “If you could have dinner with somebody, who would it be?” Bob Fosse, except I wouldn’t want to go to dinner. I’d just want to dance.”

„You definitely have to be in a mood to watch an Michelangelo Antonioni movie. But if you are, it can be hypnotic.”
„Breathless. I’m sure it’s chosen a lot in this closet. The reason I’m choosing it is because there’s a section in this film that makes me a little homesick. Jean Seberg is from my hometown of Marshalltown, Iowa. So when she says “New York Herald Tribune” in this film, I think one of the few English lines in it, she says it with that very flat Midwest accent that I recognize because we’re from the same town.”
„Alain Delon, one of the coolest guys ever on film. This is probably the one I’ve seen most recently at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, who run it every few years. Took my 15-year-old son to see it, and I’m happy to report that he enjoyed it as well. You’re never sure about that when you’re showing your kids something that you love, but incredible film. If you don’t know it, worth checking out. And huge influence, I think, on any director that’s making, you know, a thriller.”

„Here’s the thing: Barry Lyndon has rightly had a critical reevaluation in the last decades, a lot of prominent directors have cited it as their favorite Stanley Kubrick, and for a modern audience that really has a modern sense of irony, this movie has aged so well. I feel like watch Succession and then watch Barry Lyndon, because they’re both pieces about, again, an oppressive system, in this case, the aristocracy and the super rich, and the rot in those systems. So, it is as gorgeous as everyone says, but it’s also loads of fun. It’s actually so fun that, even though I recently watched Barry Lyndon, like in the last six months, I think I could do Barry Lyndon again.”
