If people are a little nervous about approaching you at the market, it’s good. I’m not Chuckles The Clown. Or Bozo. I don’t cut the ribbon at the opening of markets. I don’t stand next to the mayor. Hit your baseball into my yard, and you’ll never see it again.

I think filmmakers in general are, as the tools become more and more advanced, you’re able to tell stories in a way that I think is more realistic.

There are times I’m approaching turns with my right hand on the brake lever, I’m downshifting with my fingers, I’m controlling the throttle with my left hand and steering into the corner with only one hand on the wheel. I feel a bit like Jimi Hendrix: I play with both my hands.
