Woody Allen was an auteur: he did his thing, and that particular thing was completely his own, he said. Thats what I decided to do with music. I want to create a directors role within music, which is what I tried to do on this album (St. Elsewhere)... I can create different kinds of musical worlds, but the artist needs the desire to go into that world... Musically, there is no one who has the career I want. Thats why I have to use film directors as a model.
