Speaking with TIME about his transition from music to film, Riley recently explained, “I actually started out in film school. What I like about music is that you make a song, you’ve got your ideas in it and people make that song part of their life—they hang out with their friends to it, they get in arguments to it, they get married to it, they get divorced to it.”
He added, “it’s in their world and it takes on its own life. But with film, you get to kidnap people for an hour and 45 minutes, and show them the world through your eyes. I love that.”
