Film-making is like spermatozoa: only one in a million makes it.

The perfect crime is when you push someone to suicide. I once read a study that said everyone in the course of their life has thought of killing someone.

You have to strike hard from the beginning and create a depressurizing zone between the viewer's own life and the one onscreen. The creators of James Bond got it right: the attention-grabbing scene of each Bond movie is the very first one, before the opening credits.

If you want to kill someone, you'd better pull off a perfect crime. Our security lies in the fact that that's damnably hard to do.

I see a film as a puzzle, with a beginning, middle, and end, but I like to start at the end sometimes.

Shame is very painful to endure. For me it makes perfect sense that the character would kill herself.
