In this quote, Damien Chazelle expresses the idea that filmmaking is closely aligned with musical principles, emphasizing the rhythmic and emotional aspects of both art forms.

I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that.
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
