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

I wanted to do comic books... as a comic book artist, as an illustrator. But I'm not very good so I thought I should do something else! So I went to a film school when I was seventeen and came out when I was nineteen.

It's funny, when you start talking about primitive scenes, so many people have seen their parents having sex.

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

When you see a movie, it's like you're attending a show of magic in which the magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat. You don't know how he did it, but a part of you is fascinated, or hypnotized, by what happened, another part of your brain says, "Oh, I want to do the same thing! I want to be that wielder of that magic. I want to be that magician on stage, and do the same thing to other people."

I think in life, people know what they want. They want to survive, they want to have a family. They want to procreate because it's in the genetic law.

My weapon is just a movie.
