When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

I don't believe in censorship in any form.

I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.

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

I thrive on production. It feels very much like a natural environment for me.

I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.

On the other hand, I believe there's hope, because the breakdown and the repair are happening simultaneously.
