Unfortunately, I never played an instrument. I can't blame my parents, but I wish I had had music lessons. It's odd because I think I have a good sense of rhythm, as they say in some fields. But I don't know anything about music.

My job as a film editor is to construct a dramatic narrative because otherwise it's just a chaotic arrangement of sequences.

It is always a problem to know what an image means.

I'm drawn to making movies about contemporary life. The reason I choose institutions is because they provide a limit, a boundary.

Making movies is an effort is an attempt to leave a trace of your existence.

In moviemaking, you learn to pay attention to detail, because so much is in the detail. And when you're shooting, you try to be very alert to what's going on, even if you're tired.

If I worked in my apartment, I'd never leave my apartment.
