Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.

Without a doubt, I was born to want to make cinema, but the kind of cinema I want to make is not like commercial movies, which I enjoy myself, but I wanted to be the kind of filmmaker who wrote original work, sort of like a novelist would who deals with who we are and our times or our relationships.

The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it.

It was the man's dream, and his inspiring attempt to make them come true that remain important.

As long as I can make lots of money in other businesses, I'll continue to subsidize my own work.

I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.

I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button.
