Lots of people have criticized my movies, but nobody has ever identified the real problem: I'm a sloppy filmmaker.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

Wine is so much more than a beverage. It's a romance, a story, a drama-all of those things that are basically putting on a show.

I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.

I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.

I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films.

I like simplicity; I don't need luxury.
