I am more comfortable doing a drama.

I have hope. I have no expectations.

Audiences will see what they want to see. Some will come out, hopefully enjoying two hours of action.

I personally just want to do as many different things as I can do, whether it's comedy, drama, science fiction, horror, narrator... You've got a documentary, I've got a voice. Animated films. Big films, small films.

I think people enjoy "The Lobster" because people respond to original things, but I think they only respond to original things if they connect to some truths within us.
