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

My first cut is always pretty similar to the final cut.

In Hollywood you always feel a bit like a hake. The publicists march people up and down in front of you and they interview you... You feel like the turbot and the sea-bream go by, and you're the hake.

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

In horror movies today its lots of fast cut shot and lots of loud noises on the soundtrack. I tried to do the opposite. Playing with silence for instance.

What's really exciting for me is communicating to other people and not just going somewhere to make a movie. That's Hollywood to me and it would mean nothing.

My movies are not movies of answers but of questions.
