Personal Quote:

We did versions of it in six different languages, to go round the world. The German version was fucking hilarious, just really brutal. Everything sounded so aggressive and rude. The girl sounded like she was going to get out of the chair and stab you after she'd finished her monologue. [talking about his ad for Playstation, Mental Wealth] See more »

Trivia:

His video for Björk's "All is Full of Love" was voted #26 in VH1's 100 Greatest Videos (Auguest 2007). See more »
