It's interesting that these themes of crime and political corruption are always relevant.

I just wanted to be an ordinary parish priest.

I think if you think of yourself as religious and if you're given a gift, some may not think it's that great a gift - some critics. But others might, you know. So you say, look - whether it's good, bad or indifferent, this is what I do.

I've been thrown out of schools and fired from jobs. I don't want to work. I can honestly say I haven't done an honest day's work in my life.

Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.

I’m not interested in a realistic look, not at all, not ever. Every film should look the way I feel.

You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is bullshit and you know it.
