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

I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.

I felt attacked because people rejected me. They didn't say "we can give you money to do something else if you want," they just said "no, this movie cannot be done" and I said "okay, so I'll do it!"

The negative has to be done on an A and B [roll] so you don't see the cuts, the splices on the frameline.

War, sometimes you have to go for it, you know?

I am Left Wing. I am a Humanist.

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