I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.

I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.

For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
