I feel very protected when I see a movie. That's why I like making violent movies or radical movies.

In North America someone who doesn't know anybody, he can go... you can be respected for your own identity. It pushes your personality to become stronger.

Sometimes when I make a movie, my main goal is to show the movie to one particular director.

In life, some people just know that they have the power of their money. They can sign checks, contracts, and things like that. And they think they are bright just because they can sign these things because someone gave them the possibility to have this economic power over you. And they behave as censors.

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.

Sometimes I have better relationships with my barber then with people who are into cinema from an upper class.

Make a movie that you can be proud of.
