I think that cinema has always progressed through exchanges.

What interests me about genre is that the public connects immediately with it, it has certain rules, certain codes the audience recognizes. I can use that to create something very big.

The most heroic thing you can do is tell someone that you love them.

Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.

The so-called "remake" is simply a commercial formulation of a much deeper exchange which accounts for the way cinema is what it is.

Cool? Am I cool? I don't know, but I hope my characters are cool, in the sense of iconic. That's my job, at its very essence.

If you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.
