Either you look back and deal with your hypocrisy, or you dismiss it.

As a filmmaker, I make the films that I love, that are in my heart. That's what I care about.

A lot of jobs today are being automated; what happens when you extend that concept to very important areas of society like law enforcement? What happens if you start controlling the behavior of criminals or people in general with software-running machines? Those questions, they look like they're sci-fi but they're not.

If you are in Brazil and you grew up in a right-wing dictatorship, you think Marxism is liberating. But if you grew up in Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union is controlling everything and killing people, then you think capitalism is liberating. Neither of those two things are true and it doesn't take a lot brains to understand this.

You're looking for the best way of shooting it, but sometimes the best way of shooting it is changing the script.

A film is a living thing. The screenplay is a guideline. You really need to have a good, sound script to know that you have a dramatic structure that's going to work thematically, and to know how one scene will got through another, and to get a sense of character.

Television is so cool. Television is proving that we can be sophisticated and that people will watch, if it's good.
