I’m having a vacation and it’s so beautiful and maybe I’ll never get another film idea in my life.

Unfortunately, on one or both of my shoulders sits lots of anxiety and that is a controlling factor in my life.

If I made a musical in the beginning of my career, it would have been crane shots and tracking shots and people coming out of cakes and whatever, but these techniques are something that I’ve left behind me.

I am the best film director in the world.

When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.

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

I'm very proud of being persona non grata. I've never been that before in my life, and that suits me extremely wellI'm known for provocations, but I like provocations when they have a purpose. And this had no purpose whatsoever. Because I'm not Mel Gibson. I'm definitely not Mel Gibson.
