My two souls, the socially conscious one and the lighthearted one, are always in my movies because they find a perfect habitat in my grotesque style, which combines tragedy and humor, irony and sarcasm, comedy and drama.

If you don't love it you betray not only yourself but also your history, your culture, your position in your society.
