My movies are not movies of answers but of questions.

Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective. When a score is too well finished with too many elements, sometimes it's too much.

My movies, in general, I have the impression that when they finish of course they're never originally what you had in mind.

I could feel the real interaction between directing and acting, when an actor or an actress really suggests very interesting things.

I would love to stay alone when I'm creating.

For my first movie, I think my first cut was like three hours, because when you first direct a movie, you want to keep everything. But I'm not one of those directors who falls in love with the stuff they've done. Already when I'm doing my first cut, I'm willing to cut out everything that is necessary.

Sometimes it depends on the actor or the actress. Sometimes they demand a lot of rehearsals. Sometimes they don't. Making movies is not like making a play, so I guess you can leave some of the work for improvisation when they do the work.
