I would say that I am a poor Christian; I'm not a believer. It was this idea very early in my life that life on Earth, nature or man could not be a creation of a merciful God.

I think that sexuality is the part of human beings that is closest to nature. And nature is dangerous somehow, yes, if you put nature against civilisation, nature is definitely a threat.

I like gardening. I'm really a nature man. I spend as much time as I can in nature. I feel really safe there.

I am not very tough with raising my children, but you can argue that to be more tough will help your children.

I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.

I can't tell you why I choose stuff, it's really something I don't analyse. The only thing I can say is that a film has to demand to be made, I don't have a plan of what films I'm going to make. The only thing that I know now is that I'm not too crazy about doing things again that I've been into before.

A film has to be like a stone in the shoe.
