I think sometimes there are films where I understand what they are about, but there are also some mysterious areas in the film where I haven't got the whole image and I haven't got everything. And then it stays much longer with me, because I have to somehow put myself much more into the film to get it. And so this is what I'm trying to do with my films.

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

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

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

The film from the beginning is not the real world; it's an imaginary world. And this imaginary world is both inside and outside the normal world.

Maybe our Earth is totally alone in the universe.

I'm very interested in talking about children in this moment where you are going to become a teenager, and I think it's very relevant to use a fairy tale to talk about that.
