Only a fool does not fear actors, but you can't beat them, and if you can't beat them, join them, as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work

Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking.

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

When I show a film at a festival, I am showing myself. Everything is at stake for me.

I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.

I think its a very strange question that I have to defend myself. I don’t feel that. You are all my guests, it’s not the other way around, that’s how I feel.

We start with a rehearsal where the actors kind of bring what they think should be in the scene. But we film everything, and we use cuts of this first take, also.
