Jonathan Demme Thinking Quotations

I think music is just a wonderful ingredient that helps us understand a scene better. And certainly you can overuse music, and you can use the wrong music. I probably have been guilty of these things over time. But if you use music correctly as a friend of the theme, a friend of the narrative, ou can lend some terrific connective tissue to a film.

I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.

I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
