I have received the digital camera as a blessing. It has really changed my life as a filmmaker, because I don't use my camera anymore as a camera. I don't feel it as a camera. I feel it as a friend, as something that doesn't make an impression on people, that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable, and that is completely forgotten in my way of approaching life and people and film.

In real life, when someone's partner calls them, they can tell from the first word their partner says what their mood is.

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

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.

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.

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

It's not so much a question of whether we've shot it through 35mm or digital video; what is important is whether the audience accepts it as real.
