When you go to Cannes, people are there to fight, to scream - like football, the World Cup. Once I was working on a movie, and then when I went to Cannes, I went there to whistle at all the other movies in competition. You go to help your friends and fight with your friends' enemies.

What I don't like in movies dealing with the illustration of altered states of consciousness is that usually you see the guy from the outside.

My father is much more into forgetting and forgiving, but I'm much more into revenge.

My characters are never heroic. They are mostly lost and trying to find the right door to open and they end up opening the wrong doors.

People sometimes, they just stop because they see this scope movie. They say "oh, this is a real movie, this is not a TV movie."

Filmmaking is just a very luxurious and efficient way of expressing yourself.

Tokyo is like a huge futuristic pinball machine. It's like a bubble with two lost creatures inside a pinball machine that doesn't care about them. The other thing is, it's very colorful.
