I think that Hollywood should also be influenced by directors from Hong Kong. You see how Quentin Tarantino is really the example of how you can develop, and how you can go ahead if you accept the existence of different cinematic cultures. There you have Quentin playing with kung-fu. That's why the independents are the most interesting.

I don't think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks.

I am in love with the idea of doing a movie in 3D. I think 3D would be great for the story I want to do, in a realistic, normal story, using 3D on the emotions in a kind of intimate story.

I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.

I haven't made a movie for a while, but I've watched a lot. It's my major waste of time. I like to work, but also to be waiting for work.

I am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.

After many, many years, I fell out of love with politics. It's not something I like but it's the truth.
