The root of any film project for me is this inner need to express something. What nurtures this root and makes it grow into a tree is the script. What makes the tree bear flowers and fruit is the directing.

To be an artist means to search, to find and look at these realities. To be an artist means to never look away.

The great appeal of film is its relatability.

A truly good movie is enjoyable too. There’s nothing complicated about it.

Human beings are unable to be honest with themselves about themselves. They cannot talk about themselves without embellishing.

To be an artist means never to avert one's eyes.

The role of the artist is to not look away.
