'The Dark Knight' is a really good movie that reached both critics and mainstream audiences.

I do not make movies to send any message, but my treatment makes my viewers think on the subject.

I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.

I shoot reality-based movies, and in actual locations, shooting them with a star is next to impossible.

The quality of mainstream cinema has changed. A lot of independent voices feel they can leave everything behind and make independent films.

I am a straight talker. I am not politically correct or diplomatic.

Politicians need a film appreciation course.
