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

When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.

I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history; I'm not that kind of person.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

I think it[3D] should be used as a new artistic form, not as a gimmick, not to impress you but the existence of an environment that you view as a theatrical dramatic experience is - you don't just have the X-Y axis, you have the Z and that makes a difference. You still have the framing, you still use lenses, so most of the cinematic rules and languages still apply but I think it's a different existence.

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.

Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.
