People don't understand that my films is not about being scandalous - it's about being critical of our own society.

My films are doing well in Polish cinemas, so I don't really have problems financing them, and my international accolades are helpful.

This mixture of Polish, not Polish, of being European, gives me a perspective to see Poland through "new eyes" - paradoxically, more closely... because it's from a kind of distance.

A body - physical, astral, dead - might be treated as an object, might be adored and hated. So this story has emerged from the material that the body is.

The attitude of the Catholic Church towards homosexuality is well known - it is treated as something unnatural, even as a disease.

I'm a producer, writer, director. I'm putting everything together very fast, and I'm strong and focused on making the next film as fast as possible. From one film to the other, I'm getting better. I'm learning - that's my style.

I found my personal style in black humor and mixing funny things with very touching ones - like trying to force people to cry and smile almost at the same moment.
