What I love most about this crazy life is the adventure of it.

Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.

I want to know why I'm alive. I want to understand. It's like exploration; it's like someone being interested in a place and its history, digging into the earth and looking for it, searching - it's a passion.

I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.

I'm very patient and always willing to try things but I have some resistance as well because I have my own vision. I have resistance sometimes because I see a director who's freaking out and wants to have control and they sometimes anticipate about what I'm going to be doing or not.

A director could be 20 years old and an actor 60, or vice versa; it doesn't matter. It's about connecting sensibility and energy together, and having a vision that goes together and anchors the film as you go along.

For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
