Tarantino is a spoiled little white kid. He can do any movie he wants and nobody can do anything about it.

There has to be consistent emergence of two or three films - narratively, stylistically, consistently demonstrating you are here to go on. And on that kind of basis, I'm not seeing much. I'm just waiting to see.

Most young people now are very vulnerable as to what the American film aficionados are going to say. They care too much about a system that has no room for them. It's really a serious issue for me, because to me it's, how do I survive beyond a film that was disgraced or praised?

There are filmmakers like me in different parts of the world that have a story they want to tell, and it's a story that comes out of a certain historical reality within their own life. Then you get committed all the way and however long it takes, stay very committed.

I think not many young people are willing to pay the price of telling their own story.

Success is really when you create a space, a piece of art, and people come in and say, that's my story - when they claim it.

If you never did anything for your own freedom, you're not worth a human being in my view.
