I really think that I don't mind people sleeping during my films, because I know that some very good films might prepare you for sleeping or falling asleep or snoozing. It's not to be taken badly at all.

The one-word cinema wasn't possible for me anymore. I'd hit a wall, a dead end. Therefore I thought I'd turn back.

A work of art doesn't exist outside the perception of the audience.

I'm still very grateful to digital cameras in general, but I didn't have this feeling with the RED one.

I prefer the countryside to cities. This is also true of my films: I have made more films in rural societies, and villages, than in towns.

My films have been progressing towards a certain kind of minimalism, even though it was never intended. Elements which can be eliminated have been eliminated.

We are nothing but a link between our culture and what we can actually produce.
