I don't have the Tom Hanks fans. When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people.

You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.

Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.

People go to the movies to see things they haven’t seen before. Call me a radical.

I want to make a movie that has enough impact that it's going to do what it needs to do. But I don't want to make a film that serial killers masturbate to.

I want people to surprise themselves. Instead of saying "Oh, god, didn't we already do this 17 times?"

When I'm watching somebody act, it's a behavior editorial function - I look at someone act, and I might say, 'I don't believe him when he says that.' I don't know why I don't believe him, probably because the people that I've met, they don't act like that when they say stuff like that and mean it.
