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

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.

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.

I've seen many films and read lots of thrillers - and I'm always disappointed that I can guess the story before the other viewers.

The constant in my films is love stories. I consider love the chief business of humanity.

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