I like some superhero movies, but I have to say that they all feel the same to me. I've seen them a million times. They're all the same movie.

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.

Measurements, observations, descriptions can only be considered scientific when they are independently confirmed by other people.

I like to give dimension to shots inside action scenes. It's demanding because you have to rehearse a lot of things happening at the same time and frame all those things in a shot. But I feel like when you accomplish that then you've got a cool action scene.

No wonder we have a lot of violence in Rio: the corrupt and violent policemen meet the violent criminals in the streets. What else is going to happen?

The relationship between fascism and robotics, for instance, it's very clear that it's going to become way more important as time goes by.

How can I make a movie about the violence of the police if the police aren't going to let me film it?
