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

Usually I say I have no imagination.

As it turns out, what looks like science sometimes is 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.

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

I come from a documentary background and my natural tendency, as a filmmaker, is to make a movie, if I have something to talk about. If it's not about anything that matters, I don't feel like doing it. I'm not against people who make movies just for fun, but I'm not one of those guys. I just want to provoke thinking and debating about certain issues.

Well, I'm not that popular with the politicians, I have to say.
