The problem when you edit a film together, when you shoot a film, you are drawn into the moment. You want each moment to be special and full of life.

I would define myself as being naive and perverse at the same time. And I think that if that is consistent it will make the tone consistent.

I like to use a bit of chaos when I shoot. I think it may be something from the way I shot my first film - I was very scared, of course, and I prepared everything, I wanted to make sure that the characters did the right thing at the right time on the storyboard. But then I realised that in life, there is so much more than what you can predict or write in advance, that when you shoot the story, it's good to leave some gaps where you lose control. I think this combination of chaos and organisation gives a kind of quality.

When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream.

Misinterpretation leads me to inspiration and creativity because I think my brain is trying to figure out some information that I'm confused about.

In the '90s movies were so serious, and so stylistic and slick that I could not identify with them.

I like collaboration, I like to incorporate other people's ideas [and] that's what happens when you do a big movie. Unless you're called Stanley Kubrick and you do an independent movie for like $200 million.
