Everybody wants to lie to himself, pretending that there's something else besides only the normal life you're living in.

I had very good LSD, but the problem was - I tried making a film, or doing some filming, when I was on LSD, and it's impossible. I couldn't focus. I tried focusing, but when I looked through the lens, I'd see all different layers of focus, and I couldn't find which was the real one behind the camera. And I just thought, this does not work, and I never tried that again.

On an everyday level, I use alcohol and drugs in general mostly to be in a happier mood, with the people around me.

Sometimes people who feel powerless, they come to bother their own kids, or they come to bother children.

When you start a movie... when it's a short, people don't care... but when it's a feature they want money.

Sometimes when I make a movie, my main goal is to show the movie to one particular director.It's not about competing. It's mostly about someone who did something that blew your mind and you want to see if you can render the joy.

Being poor is a normal thing.
