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

If you make a film normally it's all right, the distributors are helpful and cooperative. But if you make a film that's a little stange, a little bizarre, then all the time it's a struggle with them.

I also don't like films that are made just to make money, no this kind of film I don't like.

Theres nothing gratuitous about my films.

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

I like films to have something inside, I don't mean a message, I mean something from the soul.
