It was really hard to find another project after my first film.

You have to draw on your unconscious when you make a film - you can't worry about whether it's costing a lot of money.

You need to feed yourself with emotions and life or youll become empty.

Directing remains very psychological, and it takes a lot of time and reflection. When you're an actor, it takes less time, and you can express yourself physically.

Music is one of the important things for me in cinema.

Everything goes by so fast that if you want to be a part of it, you need to go that fast. But because you go that fast, you don't lead the life you should lead.

I'm an absolute fan of 1970s New York in films like 'Mean Streets' and 'Dog Day Afternoon.
