I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again.

I'm very aware that the future of any film is not necessarily the theatrical experience, it's the home video experience because that is the one that is going to be presented for years to come. So you want to make sure that you push your movie, but you're talking about a movie that you finished months ago. And your head is trying to move into new grounds and you're still pushing for the other one. That's the tough element of it.

My mom, she was, she studied chemistry. And later on she changed and majored, she changed later in her career, in her life and studied philosophy and then she did a perfect clash, connection between chemistry and philosophy and she became a witch.

The long takes process doesn't allow for that many takes. In the past I have shot over 50 takes of different shots. Sometimes you end up using take 64, sometimes take four.

When I learned to switch jealousy for admiration, it unblocked a lot of things.

Story is important but the most important is the theme and how you're going to convey theme cinematically. I'm a believer also.

The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.
