I like voice-over in films, and most of my films have been voice-over films.

In the moment of making films, I want to share my observations of life, not of other films.

I've always approached screenplays and so forth with, "How would it really happen?" Not "What's the movie version?" but "What's the real-life version?" Then I just follow my nose.

If you have your movies so that everyone understands everything, I think that's probably not a very good movie.

I like action films, not exclusively, but I like Samurai films. I like Westerns. Not so much war pictures, but a few. I like kinetic cinema.

The best cinema is about ethics.

The biggest fear I have is to die with regrets, and of course that will come true.
