With digital, you can shoot longer, take more risks.

I am very much interested in fairy tales. I guess that most of the films I like to do have this kind of aspect.

Maybe our Earth is totally alone in the universe.

I don't have storyboards, but I have some very strict rules, like not moving the camera.

When I was a child, I had a quiet, protected childhood.

I had good parents. Nothing terrible happened. But I had the feeling that they kind of protected me from reality somehow.

It seems to me that [my films] are talking about very simple and, I hope, universal feelings. And at the same time, even though they are set in a very weird world with elements that are irrational, at the same time, it's very close to an ordinary world. And I like to have this third feeling of mystery.
