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.

It's easy to make a pirate copy when you have digital tapes of things. And it was so complicated and complex to go through all the post-production of a movie without ever going digital.

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

How do you make RoboCop? How do you slowly bring a guy to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you program a brain, so to speak, and how does that affect an individual?

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

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

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.
