I've never been a big fan of the music-video style of editing movies that crept in the last few decades. I like stuff that's able to take its time.

I just tell you what a pleasure it is to get back to the kind of filmmaking I used to be allowed to do.

I am fascinated with times past.

The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another.

I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.

Some of us have great original ideas and some of us depend on adaptations.

To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film.
