The television industry doesn't like to see the compexity of the world. It prefers simple reporting, with simple ideas: this is white, that's black; this is good, that's bad.

In ten phrases, the ten commandments express the essential of life. And these three words--liberty, equality, and fraternity--do just as much. Millions of people have died for those ideals.

There are mysteries, secret zones in each individual.

For 6,000 years, these rules have been unquestionably right. And yet we break them every day. People feel that something is wrong in life. There is some kind of atmosphere that makes people now turn to other values. They want to contemplate the basic questions of life, and that is probably the real reason for wanting to tell these stories.

Do people really want liberty, equality, fraternity? Is it not some manner of speaking?

Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.

Of course I'd like to get beyond the concrete. But it's really difficult. Very difficult.
