Townes Van Zandt

"I've a 1989 Chevrolet Pick-up that I love as much as anything, with a bed built in the back where I live quite a bit... [It'll] go anywhere except across the ocean. I can't wait to see it again. I'll see it in about a week." Townes Van Zandt

Dick Van Dyke

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” Dick Van Dyke

John Cassavetes

“I have a need for the characters to really analyse love; discuss it, kill it, destroy it, hurt each other... And all the rest of the stuff doesn’t interest me. It may interest other people. But I – y’know, one track mind. That’s all that interests me. Is love." John Cassavetes

Glen Hansard

"When I find something I love, I want everyone to hear it. And I thought, 'the best way for me to advertise this poem to all my friends is to call my record after it.' I love the idea of talking about James Stephens. I kind of prefer talking about James Stephens to talking about myself sometimes." Glen Hansard

Claire Denis

"There's not much violence in my film but what there is springs from something very deep. I would say it's about love in a way. And what happens when you tangle with something that is stronger than you are." Claire Denis

Kristin Hersh

"My 3-year-old, his imagination just kicked in. He's so entertaining. He doesn't call me Mom anymore — he calls me Wondergirl: we have these long conversations between Batboy and Wondergirl. I'd rather hang out with him than anybody else right now." Kristin Hersh

Simon Amstell

"I'm quite lonely, let's start with that." Simon Amstell
