Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.

I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.

I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.

But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.

If you don't like my movies, don't watch them.

The psychiatrists examine you and ask you about your life and work, and then they decide whether your film can be shown or not. It's a horrible experience.

When I was five. That's when I started to love film.
