When I have something to work against, it liberates my imagination. I believe very much in authentic inspiration. I'm not about calculation.

I like the idea of chance coming into filmmaking, in shooting, in editing, and I do make space in my rules of game for chance.

When I make films, I'm very conscious about leaving space for an uncertainty, and for some unexpected things.

I'm a man who struggles with melancholy and depression, but I am a very productive filmmaker and I work constantly, with no pause. Even in the worst of crises, I manage to produce work. And that's keeping me alive.

I've done films about games. What I like with games is that there is this uncertain outcome and the element of chance.

For me, poetry has a strong link to my filmmaking. My films learn from my poetry. In poetry, you're free. You start in the corner and you don't know where it leads you. I have no message, I have nothing I want to tell, I just start and I see where it leads, and it's a big surprise and relief if it's good. That's the ideal state for filmmaking.
