As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professional in the world waiting to work with you, then you are sunk.

I kind of call myself an atheist, I suppose - although quite a spiritual atheist, I hope.

For us, destiny always feels... if you obey, it's almost a passive thing.

I have this theory that your first film is always your best film in some way. I always try to get back to that moment when you're not relying on things you've done before.

I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.

I find my own pain and others' difficult to tolerate, so I always want to try to shift things so they'll be better. But in doing that, if I am coming from a place of ego, I often cause harm. So it's a struggle for me to set my ego outside and find a softer and more compassionate way of approaching things.
