I'd like to do a lot of different stuff. I think it's important as a creative person to keep challenging yourself and keep doing new stuff. If you end up trying to repeat yourself it's death. It just becomes boring and takes the passion out of it. You gotta find stories and characters that you really want to hang out with.

I'm not a comic book guy at all.

I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful, they can connect.

Every film had its own grammar. And it's your job as a director to basically figure out a language to tell a story.

I wasn't a big fan of social anthropology. And, luckily, that created room for me to work in visual arts because I sort of ignored my requirements. I think I was attracted to social anthropology because I liked to travel and was always interested in far-off places.

I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.

When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.
