My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.

I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.

I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.

I don't want to live anywhere where I'm breathing two million cars' fumes and paying a zillion dollars for the right to be totally hassled.

I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.

I'm about my characters.
