If I have a good dream and I wake up happy. When I have an idea, I feel happy. Sometimes achievement and relationships can make me happy. I have a son and to see him grow - he's 22 now - that makes me happy.

Every movie I do is challenging for me. There is some element of imaginative that you wouldn't have in a typical movie.

I had a lot of encouragement and tolerance from my parents, but I also have many friends who didn't get that from their parents and in a way they have more strength from spending years where nobody believed in them.

The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.

I hate cynicism. I wipe it from me. I don't like cynical people. I don't like cynical movies. Cynicism is very easy. You don't have to justify it. You don't have to fight for it.

I'm not against the technology at all, I just don't like to use it if it's just to mimic what you can do with traditional methods.

Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.
