When you talk about God, the first thing that comes along is not love, it's fear. You have to fear, and be in awe. You have to be scared. Any religion, it's like first thing.

My cultural roots are something illusive.

Every movie is unknown.

What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.

Basically the movies I make are my life, so I choose how I want to live my life for the next two years. So that's a decision I have to make. At some point if I feel there are enough elements - it doesn't even have to have great characters or great stories - it's just elements that can get my excitement and curiosity for one or two years, then I'll jump in and I'll find out what that is. Then I have to do [interviews like this] and rationalize why I do this.

The woman's perspective is like the dark side of the moon: it always exists, but it is never exposed, at least not in my culture.

I like to think I'm un-categorisable.
