When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me

So I'm a one movie at a time person, I don't develop. Normally we do a movie then one thing leads to another. If something pops up that catches my attention, then I'll decide.

I wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world's population - even to a lot of Americans.

A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.

Sexuality is a big issue, but there are others - how much you commit to a relationship, to social obligation, to honesty and being honest with yourself.

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.

The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
