Film is abstract, not definite. It is a dream.

Used properly, cinema is the coolest thing in the world.

In movies, it's so easy to have this 'boom,' to kill, and I think that's inhumane.

Do we root for Michael Corleone in the 'Godfather' films? I think so, even if he is a monster.

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

I think 'Scarface' is a great film, but if you have a character like Tony Montana, you don't identify with him at all. I think it's very interesting instead to identify yourself with a character you don't like all the time. You can create a tension between the fiction and the viewer. You force the spectator to wonder about his actions.

When someone is punched in the face, you find out what they are made of.
