One should make morals judgements for oneself.

I choose material instinctually - at the heart of it are characters that I feel are fresh and original, and allow for an opportunity to, I suppose, explore uncharted ground.

I'm drawn to provocative characters that find themselves in extreme situations. And I think I'm drawn to that consistently.

Character and emotionality don't always have to be relegated to quieter, more simple constructs.

The Communist regime didn't consider this to be a shining moment in history and assigned no heroism to it. They classified it as merely an accident.

I don't know if I thrive in normal life.

I think violence in a cinematic context can be, if handled in a certain way, very seductive.
