[Depp] has real ambitions, but he is deeply afraid of being considered pretentious.

I love mixing amateurs and professionals.

But I notice that there is a lack of darkness in my movies and I don't know where that comes from.

I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.

I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience.

I always try to preserve my cinematographic style, even while I work in the US. I wish to always be European.

I always need a couple of highlights to really spark the passion for a project.
