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

In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.

I like simplicity; I don't need luxury.

Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film.

I always found the film world unpleasant. It's all about the schedule, and never really flew for me.

I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it.

I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.
